I started by experimenting by taking one of the waxed 3-D spiral and its picture which I turned into a black and white photocopy. I then overlaid it with some transparent paper onto which I transferred the lines. This sample got photocopied and reduced onto a transparency . I then cut out the shapes/lines to turn it into a stencil. For the following fabric samples I used the positive and negtive shapes of the stencil to spray or apply paint onto fabric. The sprays used where from Marabu and are especially designed for fabric
9/1
9/2: stencils, small and big and cut out shape
9/3: sprayed pattern onto paper
9/4: sprayed and applied paint onto a light colored blue fabric
9/5: paint applied onto an already painted fabric
9/6: same as above
9/7 : same as above
9/8: pattern sprayed onto blue fabric
9/9: sprayed and painted onto blue nylon organza
9/10: sprayed onto orange nylon organza
9/11: "painted" transparency stencil: this picture itself is very interesting and could be developped into a design or copied onto fabric

Conclusion: The spiral used for this work is certainly not ideal for creating an appropriate design. However the idea of movement which it translates is something I will try to use in my sample. The fabric produced here is beautiful especially when overlying the organza on top of the coton fabric. This is difficult to photograph, but I can assure you that sense of depth created is beautiful.Also, the idea is to be able to burn away some of the organza to reveal the fabric underneath.
