My Ideas... Tracing Paper


I was playing around with various papers and fabrics that I had, and started to use tracing paper, which I liked the effects that were being produced. I like the transparency of it, especially when it is folded and the patterns start to overlap each other, making different patterns from different angles. I think it could be suited to being used as a blind or a wall divider split up the space in the open plan areas of the building. It could also look good as a textured wall or a wall hanging on a large scale.




The above two pictures are my samples using tracing paper with drawing, stitching, masking tape on them, and then folded to distort the pattern and make it more 3D.

This is various of layers (including acetate, tracing paper and handmade paper) on top of each other. The printing didn't work very well on the acetate, where the green has crumbled, but I still like the layered effect and the combination of shapes and lines produced by a combination of screen printing, drawing and machine stitch.  I am going to carry on this idea of layering.
