Creating Paper fabric

These samples are about creating a fabric from lightweight brown paper and fabric.

I first painted the brown paper with dynaflow dyes and when it was dry I crumpled it up to give it texture.

Next I ironed some bondaweb to a piece of fine cotton .

I placed the crumpled painted paper face down on the ironing

board

and then placed the cotton fabric with the bondaweb side facing

down onto the paper and ironed it.

I then ironed some previously painted bondaweb onto the painted

crumpled paper to get the finished effect.

These are only sample pieces so now I can make a larger peice to make a book cover for my TAST samples.
