Making Tyvek Lace

I saw this short video on making lace with Tyvek and had to immediately try it.

Results not too shabby:

Not terribly successful but you learn from mistakes

Shown under the baking parchment

Shown still stuck to the stamps, cooling

I used the printing blocks/stamps I'd made in my August post on visual exercises.

A few learnings:

• set the iron between wool and cotton
• use rubber stamps (try one out beforehand) - I used this Super Soft Lino Block
• use baking parchment above and below
• be fast and press hard
• let the stamps cool after a few uses before carrying on

I love the randomness of the results even when you get the technique under control.

Really exited about the possibilities.
