Module 2: Metallic Magic : Alchemy

 Chapter 9 

part 1 - Turn plain fabrics into metallic surfaces & 

part 2 - How to modify real metal surfaces

The section has been very useful as I have not worked with such a range of metallic materials before.


I particularly enjoyed working with the pigment powders and hope I can include these in the contemporary stitched samplers for the next section.  Likewise using the transfer foils with bondaweb, and the painted Tyvek.

I enjoyed piercing patterns into the puree tube, this techniques should prove to be a very useful addition – we’ll have to use a lot more tomato puree to get more of the resource!
