Khim: Container Models [Updated]

Container Models [Updated]

"Chan-Ooy Edition"

I got the ideas from your last critique, so I look up 'planar surfaces', 'paper craftings', and got inspired by the Paper Zoo.

I thought that type of crafting could be interesting, so I try to create and develop different kind of textures on chan-ooy; this is what I have achieved so far:

[From left to right]

First Row

1.) The first one was made using the dull end of the cutter blade. The texture is created by continuously scratching the chan-ooy's surface gently.

2.) The second one is made by bending the chan-ooy rapidly until a wavy, rough surface is created.

Second Row

3.) This one is made by submerging the chan-ooy strip into warm water, take it out to bend to create a wavy surface, then submerge it in water again.

It is left in the water for 30 minutes before it is taken out and left to dry.

4.) Using the same method as 3.), but during the process, thin layers of chan-ooys are ripped off of the main strip.

This creates a crispy strip of chan-ooy with a more detailed surface when dried.

The ripped-off pieces are also quite interesting; they're very thin, yet very crispy and not quite fragile.

Dried Piece

5.) This strip of chan-ooy is simply submerged in water without any external changes applied to it.

The texture of chan-ooy paper became more visible and its shape is easier to be altered (eg. bending). However, the changes needs to be done before it is completely dry, otherwise the strip will become stiff again.

I'm thinking about creating my container using only Chan-ooy as the material. I'd like to try differentiating each part using the chan-ooy's textures, and apply several styles of crafting to different parts of the tomb.

For now, I tried starting off with the bottom layer using the first texture-technique.

More textures and crafting are coming by.

Also, I'm trying to make the mummy wrappings using chan-ooys instead of bandages.

...including some more experiments which is still going on.

And currently, I'm waiting for these strips to dry.

I'll see how they turned out and upload their pictures soon.

I decided to use only what I have for now, since the flood situation doesn't seem to get any better. My family might need to move out of the area, but we couldn't leave the house behind.

These 2 photos are taken yesterday. I couldn't go any further down the road; the river and the road have merged into one and it's becoming hard to distinguish them from one another.

Hope you're safe from the flood, and please take care.
