Artist’s comment
Thank you Christine!
It sure differs from the rest, because I work with textile. Lately I learned a nice new technique with a material called Tyvek. Tyvek is a kind of artificial soft white material, used for enveloppes, surfjackets, and material to conserve artpieces in musea. I paint this material with acryl paint and then I glue or sew other materials, like organza on it, and then with an iron I make it warm and then it transforms. These pieces I use to make my artpieces. I also make brooches, earrings and hangers with this material. I wish you and your school good luck with the mail art exhibition, I think it is a nice initiative!
with best regards,
Marianne
