I watched a number of tutorials to study the techniques for slashing fabric to create a faux chenille surface. I also watched felting tutorials and researched the mola fabric technique (which is similar to reverse applique). These links were the most appropriate for my needs at this stage: Stitching and Slashing – Fay Maxwell […]

For moulding experiments I identified a number of moulding clays which I think could be used as both the material being cast and as the material to hold the impression. Commercial products included air-drying clay, polymer clay (Fimo), modroc. I also researched homemade dough options and found a selection of ‘playdough’ type recipes and salt […]
This was an interesting idea I stumbled on while researching powertex. It’s a means of using wax and oil to create a fabric that can be moulded whilst remaining soft and pliable. At the moment I’m not quite sure what I would do with this but it would be fun to try! http://www.instructables.com/id/Moldable-Fabric-for-Doll-Clothes/?ALLSTEPS http://artaddworksforme.blogspot.co.uk/2008/07/fabric-hardener-experiment.html
Kinetic sand is a mix of 98% fine sand and 2% polydimethysiloxane (a silicone oil which sounds scary but is apparently used to reduce the froth in deep-fat frying and making jalapeno poppers!) so is considered non-toxic. http://grimlockmanor.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/sand-casting-skull-with-kinetic-sand.html Its advantages are its ability to be heated to high temperatures without any change and to retain […]
For this assignment I researched a number of materials for moulding and a range of techniques to use with the various materials: Sugru and homemade ‘Oogoo’ Kinetic sand Air-drying clays and doughs Mouldable fabric Paverpol, Powertex and fabric hardening medium
