Well continuing on with my experiments to create body form in an in-solid way I did some machine stitching on disolvable fabric. This is the stitching having disolved the fabric. At this point I got quite excited by the stitchy mesh I had created (each to their own, I know), but I loved the feel of it and I didn't wash it too much and it still had a bit of a gloopy feel from the remainder of the fabric that turns into a gluey substance as it disolves. It was just placed on a piece of paper to dry.
I then used good old PVA to stick it to my hand casst. I also really liked the look of it at this stage.
Well the result was quite nice, although it didn't give any indication of the form of a hand. I think if this was maybe done over a bigger form, or even that of a face it might retain some idea of the body shape a bit more although will remain quite fragile. It was obviously a lot stiffer in the denser area of stitching though.
Anyway, If nothing else, I like the look my hand cast is getting from all of this distressing.
