For this play type I was inspired by Dauphinette NYC one of my communities of practise and the way she transforms fabrics using hand painted techniques. I had some old fabric scraps of leather that I wanted to up cycle as a base for my trash embellishment. I had some left over Derivan Fabric Art Paint which is an Australian made water-based, non-toxic paint for fabric. I wanted to explore a material base that had a playful aesthetic instead of going out to purchase any new fabric. Our household was throwing out a Glad wrap box at the time that matched the colours of the fabric paint which was a win. I cleaned the surface of the fabric and prepped it for painting as it had been sitting in my fabric scraps for a while now, so I was excited to give it a new life.
