Expandex

For this expandex sample I experimented with different textures by applying the expandex in different ways I learned that leaving the heat gun on for too long caused the fabric to burn so if I was to use this technique I would have to consider how long I keep the heat gun on the fabric and which fabrics are suitable for this.

These samples were taken from the outside of a beehive. I did this sample by applying expandex to fabric in wavy and straight lines using a paint brush I then applied heat using a heat gun which caused the expandex to dry and expand on the fabric. I liked how the expandex was uneven it made it look more real.
