When choosing drawings to work from, I was very unsure where to go with developing stitch marks from my drawings of textiles. For example stitches based on drawings of embroidery on the huipil, without copying them badly, where can you take them? While reviewing the exercise it occurred to me that stitching on a folded paper substrate, could be this!
I made an origami bird and embroidered it based on the stitch marks I made!
It was an impulsive idea that I needed to see through. Clumsily executed but quite an important hatching of thought process .
Really nice development from the original.
