and lots of other people do to. I’m beggining to document my thesis, as I’m doing it now and want to begin with were I first came across fusing plastic bags, which was here at Etsy labs, many thanks to Amanda L. for the great tutorial.

Later, I found this at treehugger, which is a great look at other artists using P.B.F., by the way that’s what I call it cause I love acronyms somebody probably thought of it first, I’m not saying I made it up, I don’t want the credit, I just like the name.

Also there’s this Instructable which isn’t bad, theres others but this one I saw first.

For those who don’t know, but I assume if your reading this you know me, but really I don’t know, who knows other people might end up reading this. I’ve been working with P.B.F. for about six months now and have and will be making more bags, for shopping/purses, laptop sleeves, and small zippered bags of various sizes (ie pencil cases and makeup bags), as well as plastic bag fabric stretched like a canvas as an art object. For my thesis I’m exploring the sonic qualities of stretched P.B.F. by making large instillations, with the material stretched over a wooden structure. The user interacts by moving through the space, of which all the walls and floor will be miced with contact mics. More explanation will follow, along with pictures soon.
