Exploring Manipulation Of Fabrics.

While using conventional fabric is interesting i wanted to explore different options for example aluminium sheeting being embossed or laser cut. However when i was reading through a book called Techno Textiles i came across an image of fabric that has been manipulated to create blister like shapes. It is simply due to the yarns that are used in the fabric and when certain fabric finishes are applied it causes them to react and create intriguing shapes. The chemicals simply blister the synthetic fabric. Another idea that caught my eye was heat moulding fabric into shapes as seen in the book.
