Simple weave with hessian (burlap, crocus, jute) to get remarkable 3D print on gel plate. Easy!

Thank you. Yes, you can really see the weave.

Very cool!!

[@AmberBennisonArt]

Thanks. It’s a fun process. 😎

[@erica73730]

Very nice, Amber! The weave of the hessian itself and the ribbon weave are both really effective textures. Where are you from? …just noticed you mentioned Bunnings in a reply. I’m in Australia and we love Bunnings!😊

Hi again Erica. I’m across in WA. How about you? I’m glad you liked the video. That hessian weave makes a really interesting print doesn’t it! The print has gone into my stash. I’ll be interested to see what it becomes in the future. Everyone finds their perfect place in a collage sooner or later! 😉 🤭

⁠@@AmberBennisonArtI’m from Sydney. I’ve never been to WA but I would truly love to… so much natural beauty. We recently had family friends moved there… they absolutely love it. I’d like to see where the weave print ends up too😍

Great technique, where’s would I find those hessian strips

[@AmberBennisonArt]

Thanks Sam. Generally you can get hessian in craft or fabric shops. It may be sold as a larger piece that you could cut into strips yourself.
The hessian I used, actually came on a roll. I bought it in a DIY Hardware store (Bunnings). It was sold for securing trees to stakes! So you’ll probably find it in garden centres too.
