Transparent surfaces
    
Image 1.7.1  – emulsion paint applied with sponge on sheet of acetate. 
Image 1.7.2 - emulsion paint applied over stencilled shape using a plastic card, sponge and textured stamp on sheet of acetate.
    
Image 1.7.3 – threads and beads sandwiched between a folded sheet of acetate.  Acetate sandwiched between baking parchment before warm iron applied to seal.
Image 1.7.4 – emulsion paint applied to bubble wrap.

Some of these samples have been more successful than others but hopefully I have followed the instructions and produced the correct results.  Some of the rubbings in 1.3 were super but some not so good – perhaps a heavier weight of paper would have helped.  I always enjoy discharge as you end up with interesting colours and never really know what to expect when the bleach is applied.
