For this assignment I decided to make a curtain for one if the FabLab's windows.

When I saw TAKEHIRO ANDO' work I only saw pixels, so, this is what I did: The first thing I did was to trace the silhouette of the “pixels”, the design can be downloaded here

I also played with other ideas:

I wanted to make a curtain with the FabLabs logo so, I downloaded FabLab's Logo, open in Oknitme… and Do the magic!

After getting the design, the “cuma-pixels” and a lot of work….

It is so cute that we decide to mount it in a wood room divider and use it as a photocall.
