For our Textiles in Art homework we were instructed to go and try out different methods in order to decay/distress/age five different pieces of fabric. I found this quite fun but a lot more difficult than I expected. Material is a lot tougher than I imagined. However I did enjoy some of the results and have been inspired for future projects. The bleach and denim made me consider the idea of bleaching words or patterns into fabric and I liked the pretty candle wax effect on the netted fabric, even though it doesn't appear to resemble decay or age.
Below are photos of the results.
 |
| Cotton: Scratched and torn with stanley knife. |
 |
Denim: Soaked in bleach for about half n hour.
|
 |
Leather: Rubbed with cheese grater.
|
 |
| Netted Fabric: Candle was spilt and dripped over the fabric. |
Satin: Burnt in sections by hovering over flame on candle.
