Stretching

Looking back at previous investigations into plastic surfaces, I re-looked at these samples where lines of perforations were made into black bin liner plastic, stretched on the ironing board and ironed between baking parchment.

Tried it again on a white plastic that I'd printed with a feather.

I found that 'flicking' ink marks with feathers onto paper and plastic made interesting marks

and then onto a plastic bottle which I hoped would give it a suggestion of a feathered surface to relate to a bird.
