DIY Bookcloth Filling with Media (3x3)

Uitzenddatum: Jan 23, 2021

This video demonstrates how to turn fabric into #bookcloth by filling with various media. Three types of media will be demonstrated, starch paste, methyl cellulose, and a mix of paste and acrylic medium. I forgot to say something about the cloth I was making at the start of the video. This piece of cloth was a cyanotype I made using an x-ray of my hand. It was done on thin white cotton. The cotton is not completely opaque so I wanted a white backing on it. It was also very light so I figured backing it with paper had two benefits. But I also wanted a protective coating on the surface, so I then coated it in a 50/50 mix of paste and acrylic medium.
