TYVEK

 

I wanted to share using tyvek, most mix media or textile artist have heard
of it. It is used in, envelopes, signs banners, tags and protective clothing.
Which I have a lot of, so I got an old pic from my older blog  and posted
some beads I made. I sent some in my packages but they were pretty wonky.
I painted on it then wrapped them around a skewer and then with wire.
You can heat it and it wrinkles and bubbles. very lovely texture,
they do make lovely beads.
When you get an envelope in the post of this product keep it and play with it
just have some fun..
Thanks for visiting and have a great day..
NAMASTE!!!!

These beads look great Dianne! I don't think I've seen this materials... unless it's similar to some of the plastic table cloths (not the really thin ones you get at the $1 srote).

Love your beads, Dianne! Much better then the ones on paper, for me.

Thanks thanks thank you for your kind words on my blog, I really appreciate :-)

So interesting, I never would have thought to paint on tyvek since it has a smooth surface. Can't wait to try it! I didn't know that was the same stuff that they use to wrap houses with (that's how I know the name). Thanks for sharing your very cool idea!

And, you are so very sweet, Dianne. Namaste! : )

Dianne, the beads are lovely. I was wondering a bit exactly how it was done, this gives me all the information I needed- thanks so much for posting it. Funny, I had always thought Tyvek was a different material. I've used what I thought were Tyvek envies for years, but the stuff you sent package in is completely different. Will have to try this soon!
