I was looking at texture and mark making during the research in Pop Up 1 ans because my objects were giving me too much information to narrow down I decided to look to the surfaces of them and take note of their appearance i.e scratch marks, lines, dust, staining, rust.. This then lead into me looking at stains and the formations of a stain spreading across something. My stitch tutor and I looked at this and she suggested that burning could be a nice way of showing this however I would have to make it look half decent and not just some bit of cheap material with burnt holes all over it. So I took it upon my self to buy one of the cheapest tackiest fabrics out there: 100% polyester in turquoise and cream. MMMM. I then started bending small bits of wire into shapes and burning with these, the results were very pleasing.
