Chapter 7 – Pulp and Woven Grids (Part 1)

I wove materials around frames and dipped them in paper pulp.  I used natural materials from my allotment (e.g. bindweed – ghastly stuff!), twine and some acrylic wool.  The pulp bonded with the natural materials very well.

I wrapped the natural ‘fibres’ when I was up the allotment and it was lovely to work outside.
