Warning!!!!! Remember to take the proper precautions when using a heat gun to melt organza. Good ventilation and the proper ventilator (NOT a dust mask) should protect you from the evil chemicals. Mine was purchased from a safety company called Ackland-Granger. Call up a similar company in your area and ask them what they suggest.
The final piece!
Well, it's not actually the final step, but it needs to rest for a while. I haven't found the right focal element yet, so it can just sit and wait until I do.
be......weave it or not.......OUT!

aaaah - NOW I get it!! I couldn't figure out why you would cover what looked to be a perfectly wonderful piece...duh, should have known!! Obviously I have a lot to learn!
interesting, but what happened to the dangles? they were pretty...k.
Unfortunately, the dangles withered up in the heat and disappeared into nothing. That doesn't mean to say that there won't be a different type of fringe in the future, just not the same one. I'm all about experimenting and that's what this particular exercise has been about. I did like the earlier backgrounds, but I like this one the best.
Very cool, AM, to see the progression of this piece. about how big is it? I'm not a heat gun player like you, not even tempted, but I of course, love your work!
Thanks, Rachel! It's 7 1/2 wide X 8 1/2 long, but please bear in mind that it will probably be reconfigured &/or incorporated into another piece. It might even be distressed a little more when I get a chance. It was intended as a fun, play type exercise to clear my artistic pallette for the next BJP. BTW, April will be posted this evening.
hey! i really like what you are doing with the weaving thing!
Thanks, Jude! As you can tell, I'm just a wee bit experimental with my fibre. I don't know much about weaving, but playing is fun.
