After experimenting with the different colours, textures and compositions with the different fabrics I decided that I wanted to bring Peeter's influence into my fabric experiments and start to bring all my artists together in the lead up to my final piece as I had an idea about it earlier today which is explained in the next blog post.
I particularly like this experiment as I like the way the photo paper burned which I'd experimented with in my texture sketchbook back in the summer, and I decided to use the fabrics that burned really easily so it would melt into the photo paper and create this lined effect. I love that when this material is burned it not only creates lines throughout it but the edges don't burn they only singe which means you get these really nice dark outline around the texture which in certain areas is hidden by the melted and curling photo paper. On top of this I feel that the sewing I had added is just enough to emphasise the lines the fabric created without overpowering them, and the tone of pink in the thread matches with the tone in the fabric so it suits well and doesn't add too much of a contrast while still being visible.
