Tyvek

I really love watching Tyvek react to heat.

You'll know all about the grid sample if you have read Tyvek and Silk sample post. This was my accident which worked really really.

The top largest sample was distressed with a hovering iron, then when bubbling had occurred, I flipped it over and  ironed it as I would a pair of jeans, The sample was flattened and some of the bubbles burned through giving a futuristic lace effect.

The bottom sample was a Tyvek, scrim and rusted cotton sandwich, machine stitched, slashed and heat distressed. The distorted Tyvek pulls the cotton out of shape.

Im working on making my sketchbook more interesting. I have a tendency to cut something out very neatly and lay it central on the page.

I have a Pinterest board, you can find it here full of interesting sketchbooks to give me inspiration and get away from my boring sketchbooks.
