Tyvek Owl Project...

This is the backside of a stain on Tyvek

Two examples of Tyvek with ink coloring..
I just love the feathery texture!

These are the Tyvek envelopes
that I cut apart~

I took a full semester of resists, paper making,
batiks, silk dyeing etc. in college.
I remember SOME of it~
We didn't experiment with Tyvek.
(I wonder if it existed BACK THEN)

Tonight I decided to do a little experiment
with resists & this cool material.

I painted this owl for a spec project...
To make my experimenting a little faster
I decided to use him~

On the light table...saving time!

With the white acrylic ink applied...

Base coat of blue dye...

Close-up...cool texture!

Adding some watercolors...they don't seem
to saturate the paper well enough...
The permanent inks work better~

The finished Tyvek Owl.

He looks a bit washed out...
We'll find some use for him!
