Wednesday 6th April

Carrying on with experimenting using different materials, I took a page from my book which I had produced in a 'controlled' way, I took it and replicated it using different materials. It still needs some improvement but I think in this instance I prefer the original, which was created using fabrics. I think I will maybe go on to combine the fabric materials but in a less controlled way to come to a better compromise. 

However, I do think the background works effectively. As I had already identified it gives a good 'sinister' and dark feel I have used it more than once. I created it by squirting black paint onto the page in my sketchbook, I then press a sheet of tracing paper against it, this leaves some areas stuck to the paint and others not, which also gives a bit of a texture.
