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.
