Experiments with texture

 I have been playing with some ideas to create the textures of corroded metal and crumbling plaster work. Not quite there yet but some of the techniques have potential.

Nasty nylon nets and lace transformed by burning


Humble craft vilene with lots of colouring and metallics. Areas removed and reattached with a soldering iron


The back of the vilene is quite interesting too......

More experiments to come - I will keep you posted!
