The pathology of collecting task（draft）

After watching the video about toy collecting called , I certainly felled the power of passion of collecting-According this video.
Owain started collecting toys since he was a boy, and he had a huge quantity of toy, just as the saying 'the taste of collection is like a game played with utter passion.'.I still remember I cannot keep every things in my room because of the sizeof space of my room, so I only have one at home for memorising. I guest the reason why a true collector can successfully to collect one thing is because they see the special ,which can bring the colletor a lot emotional meaning, on that kind of object. It's like the writing in the essay,'the passion for an object lead to its being construct as god's special hand work.'
Toys are children's dream and dependence. in the other word, toy can remind people the pure and lovely time.according to the video, owain desired to open a toy museum, which make me think about target audience of the museum. Usually, most of the playing object inside already have been made for a long time. So in my opinion,maybe a toy museum is more meaningful to adults than children.

stitch block

      I have to admit I didn't under what  'stitch' really is before I had the first lesson, and I always  think it is a part of the print. Unquestionably,  stitch tutor showed us different techniques to make our sample which I like the 'burning' one most. The effect is quite impressive, so I tried to use burning to be part of my experiment.

    Various burning point of fabric are the most important thing I need to notice. On the first day, experiment showed  that latex is a kind of inflammable material, but the plastic and polyester are not one of them. So basically, I tried to make pattern（trace) on the PVC/latex by using heating of iron and burn some dyed polyester .

    Then I embroidered a few dots  which is like the pattern on the painting and burning agin.the thread were shiny after burning) By accident, I dropped  some wax on the fabric then I realised how similar the wax and pattern were.so combining them together started to be my aim on thursday.

    During these 4-day-experiment, I found  it is too weird that I put wax and fabric together, if I don't make some change. Even the colour and texture looks like the same, they donnot have some kind of graduation. Fortunately, tutor gave me some suggestion about melting wax, and I had new inspiration:melting wax on pieces of polyester in 3D effect.

   4 sample in different way by using this technique.
