This is a photograph of an experiment I did on level 5, using strong salt dye solution and silk, the salt has left a strong tide mark on the silk creating a 3 dimensional relief from the fabric. This will be a good reference point for further experimentation as the process employs a grown process with a natural structure. I plan to experiment with this technique as a way of manipulating fabric.

I like the idea of using using stones and minerals as a way of embellishment because I like building onto a surface, here a good reference is the fashion designer Martin Margiela, who has used stones as a way of covering a whole surface. I could build a surface by using salt crystals and other minerals as a different way of embellishing from using traditional gem stones.
