What is thermoplastic?
Thermoplastic involves using a polymer or a fibre whose molecular structure beaks down and becomes fluid at a certain temperature, allowing the fabric to be reshaped through pleating or moulding. When cooled, the fabric remains in that permanent shape until it is reheated to the same or higher temperature.
Materials needed:
Organza (100% polyester)
3D objects (acrylic discs, marbles etc)
Rubber bands
Aluminium foil
Metal pot
Water
Stove
Tongs
How to do it:
Cut your desired length of organza
Tie up your 3D objects OR wrap and twist organza with aluminium foil
Wrap the entire form in aluminium foil
Place them in a pot and boil for an hour
Wait for it to cool before unwrapping the outer aluminium foil
Let it cool further before you remove rubber bands and the inner aluminium foil.
Reflection:
Little tumours. Reminds me of fungi. Would take this a step further and layer different coloured organza to resemble pimples!
