Collage Meets Paint.

Recycling Materials.

Here I have been experimenting with a new method. I have used the dried up clumps of paint you find in an artist paint palette to create some designs for a fashion collection. This I thought was an interesting way of recycling what would often be thought of as waste.

Before I would remove the paint from the palette I coated the clumps with PVA glue to help me to peel away the paint in strips. It is the PVA glue which gives the plastic like shine to these textile experimentations which I think are a successful way of looking at recycling.
