Hand Processes

In hand processes I have been making samples from everyday objects that are not usually found in the world of textiles. These include plastics and rubbers, sponges, tin foil, cling film, drinking straws.... the list goes on. I scanned these into the computer and experimented with scale and repetition. This helped me to create drawings from them, and I could work straight onto the body. I found this working straight onto images of the body useful in my 3D Construction workshops. Working physically onto the mannequins I experimented with folding, cutting and shredding paper and pinning it to the body. This was a simple and effective way of working as it allowed me to see the physical forms on the body and how I can work in fabrics.
