Experimenting with materials

I wanted to set up my own methods of decaying objects and find other ways in which to decay fabrics other than just burning them, something a little more interesting and different.

I loved the way that the decayed fabrics turned out as the nature of decay cannot be controlled it is organic and happens naturally and this is almost liek burning as you cannot choose how quickly it burns or which parts it burns you just have to wait and see.
The colour the burnt fabric creates is beautiful, the oranges, browns and blacks are all organic and colours which we find in nature, such as in the earth.
These are colours which I would like to base my palette around when choosing fabrics, dye and inks.
I loved the effect burning made on paper, the different photocopied edits I made would transfer nicely into prints, it is something I should consider...
