From trash to treasure with fused plastic. This great idea came from the January 2009 issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors. The artist was Alisa Burke, sharing this great technique.
I laugh at trash to treasure...because I always save my grocery bags and use them for trash. This is not a perfect technique, but I found it very interesting. You fuse 8 grocery bags together, ink, paint, collage, stamp, stitch...whatever your heart desires and sew it into a clutch.
Here are 8 grocery bags, that were pressed between paper to fuse them. Makes a wonderful durable surface.
After I sprayed with colorwash, glimmer mists and painted with acrylics and stamps, this is what the paper looked like.
A little close up so you can see the wonderful texture.
I sewed a handmade paper to the back of the plastic for the liner.
Then haphazardly stitched all over the paper, before I did the final stitching to make the clutch. When you're finished you seal the fused plastic with a water based polyeurethane.
I see wonderful potential for this technique. Hope you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by.
