M4 Chapter 8 Apply Paper Pulp to Woven Fabric Grid


I collected together various fabric grids and wrapped frames for this chapter.

8.1 This sample was entirely covered in paper and this was probably because the 'grid' was not large enough. I then rubbed the sample and some of the paper came off which left a nice effect.
 
 
8.2 I like the effect of scooping the pulp onto the fabric. It was placed on a piece of fresh paper and pushed together before drying.
 
8.3 Fabric dipped in pulp and rubbed once dried.
 
8.4 Scrim strips placed and pressed onto sheet of paper. Pulp added in stripes and pushed down with mold.

8.5 The fabric was pressed into a fresh sheet of paper and left to dry.
 
8.6 A wire frame was wrapped with yarn and dipped into pulp. Cut from the frame when dry.

8.7 A plastic grid was stretched over a frame and dipped into the pulp.

8.8 The same as 8.7. The grid holes were probably too small to achieve a good effect.

8.9 An accidental - the wire mesh was used to emboss a sheet of paper. Left to dry it made an interesting texture which could be used in a number of ways including 3D work.
