What's Tyvek?


I am fascinated by the textures available for fiber arts when an artist paints and then "burns" or heats the Tyvek to make it bubble. Many of my "bubbles" look ridiculous - they don't look artsy and I'm not sure what to do next.


Here's a photo of a Tyvek bead -- and I shall ponder how the artist accomplished this.
