Manipulating wadding by cutting and printing on top of it had some interesting results. First I arranged thread between two pieces of wadding by either creating circles by wrapping the thread around my hand or fingers, or laying thread over itself to create thicker appearance. I then used screen prints with contrasting colours to the threads to create patterns on top and then cut out certain areas and manipulated them. i did this by cutting out circles and folding into four to create a textured 3D effect. I also pleated a section and added that however it was difficult to pleat the wadding and the fibres were not the most sturdy.
