Quilt will be 5x10 field of patches of T-shirt cut-outs, ranging form black to white, and with 8 more columns in between.
Details
It's happening at OHM!
T-shit-flag will be made prior or at this summer's Dutch hackers camping event OHM2913: http://OHM2013.nl

Shipping address
Shipping address: Vesna , Singel 258, 1016 A'dam, NL
Inspiration
Work in Progress
First 25 shirts, modeled on the (h)ACTA floor, end-June 2013
Brainstorm
- We might include some BDSM practices in the workshop, too ;-)
- ripping the t-shirts instead of cutting?
- making the blind-folds of the black t-shirts?
- mod shirts with zippers, nails, safety pins
- Get the "50 shades of grayscale" picture as a logo ;-)
- With this theme we should/could do something with leather
- leather wristbands with nails (e.g text TechInc)
- or wristbands with LEDs
- On the safe side: pillow, bag, sleeve, book cover, kite
Participants
- Becha (organiser)
