I enjoyed completing this assignment and, whilst not all my practice samples were successful in most cases I understand why and will learn from these samples to adapt and refine future work. In particular I am developing a better feel for matching materials to tools (the paper choice in the crumpling exercises for example) and […]
Introduction This exercises introduces the idea of using embossing techniques to create texture. i) Tissue paper on anaglypta with lollipop stick and spoon Here I used a piece of printed anaglypta under thin tissue paper and embossed with a lollipop stick then a spoon. ii) Tissue paper over lollipop sticks with spoon As the anaglypta […]
Introduction For this exercise we explore the use of hot and cold water on synthetic fabrics to achieve texturing and shaping. After shaping polyester or similar fabrics around moulds/shapes (buttons, pebbles, etc.) the fabric is boiled for around 30 minutes then plunged in very cold water before being allowed to dry and the mould removed. […]
