I was playing around with a canvas, copper metalic paints, lots of tyvek again and gesso and this is what i ended up with. The stems are tyvek to and rolled like a large bead and zapped with the heat gun, i dont think its what i was orginally going for but i was just following along where it took and not sure i like it either but it was fun melting stuff.

I love all the texture you are getting Karen. When you're experimenting, it doesn't really matter whether you really like it or not. Just keep going. It's what you're learning about your process and what you will do again and what you won't. If you really don't like it, then you can always paint over it or melt it way back and add more on top.

Wow, Karen, I am impressed. It is wonderful. You can always experiment with paint sticks if you want more definition. But it is great just as is.

That's great. I find that sometimes I have more fun if I play and let something grow organically in accordance with how it "speaks" to me. Othertimes I like to be more planned and structured in my work. There are times for each and you have got a great result here from your playtime.
