I found this link while looking around online for suggestions on shooting with the use of fabric. Some of the hints are really interesting and the photographer (Christopher Grey) has some example shots that look similar to what I was imagining in my head:

He’s got some really interesting light effects in these, and explanations of how he achieved them on his post. I’m drawn to the second one in particular. I think that for Project 2, I’m definitely going to go with my diffusing light through fabric/translucent materials idea. I want to see if I can capture dramatically different moods (depression, anger, happiness, etc) in portraiture using the diffused and (hopefully) colored and patterned light I’ll get using my materials.

I also made a ton of progress on Project 1 in the past couple of days. I’m extremely excited: I made it to the 8th print in the series today, and the image is indeed disintegrating! It looks even cooler than I expected. I’m planning on finishing it up as a set of 12, to be displayed in a grid. Pictures will be shared when it’s ready!
