Managed to get grass growing on the vest, the roots have grown through the fabric so well see what happens I guess

Absolutely not convinced by using felt instead of the lichens. I think I'm going to go back to the drawing board for the shoulder sections

Adventures in Sampling

Right now I'm having fun with experimenting with different methods of ageing and distressing. Whilst it doesn't necessarily fall into this category I was interested in using bubble painting to create a mottled effect on fabric. I've been using this jacket as a canvas for these experiments. The previous experiment with seeds had to be called off last year but I'll be trying again this spring/summer.

To start off I tried using silk paints. This did not work at all and none of it showed up on the fabric.

I then swapped to black acrylic paint. This showed up on the fabric (remnants of a loose woven linen) but the colour bled into the fabric meaning all detail was lost.

I kind of liked the mottled effect towards the centre but the whole right side was wrong.

I tried using the paint on paper to make sure that my paint to water ratio was right.

This proved that the mix was fine, it was likely my fabric choices causing problems. I decided to use small pieces of the fabric the jacket is made of. I had very little of this remaining so I had to be careful with what I tried. I started off with the same method as the first attempts. The result was much better. The thicker fabric was less absorbent so there was almost no bleed and the bubbles were better defined.

I wasn't completly happy though, I wanted to see larger bubble outlines like the ones on the paper. Thinking through the differences between the fabric and paper, I realised that the paper was much stiffer than the fabric. To test this theory I interfaced my second piece of scuba suede before painting.

This result was so much better than the first with much more defined bubbles.

Just to confirm my theory about stiffness I interfaced a piece of the first fabric and tested it out.

Even though bleed was still a problem I prefer this much more than the first attempts.

Tommorow I'll be applying this to the jacket. The plan is to use an embroidery hoop for stiffness because the jacket has no interfacing.

Various - Stanpipe Riddim

NEW REVIEW Various - Stanpipe Riddim Label:  FiWi Music | Format: DR | Street date: June 1, 2018 | Facebook Label Originally put out on 7" vinyl in 2003, "FiWi Music" has re-released the cuts for their "Stanpipe" riddim on digital platforms. Produced by Courtney John, this infectious mid-tempo "one drop" riddim with its driving beat, pumping bassline, and wicked organ parts is truly worthwhile hearing. Singer, songwriter, and producer Courtney John is the leader of the pack with his outstanding conscious tune "Living". The lovers tune "Put It On", delivered by Courtney John's cousin Lenn Hammond, is a matching cut for the riddim and the same goes for "Bonafide" from the very talented singer Brah Yhan (born Bryan Grant). The latter, former guitarist of the Firehouse Crew and then leader/guitarist of Bushman's Grass Roots Band, shows that he's a richly voiced singer who keeps in the tradition of crooners who came before him, those who have inspired him, including the likes of the late Dennis Brown, Al Green, Beres Hammond and Toots Hibbert to name a few.
