Tactile pixilated woven art

[kestrell]

From The Art of Darkness blog comes this post on using woven paper or fabric strips to make pixilated patterns

It occurred to me that this would also make a great tactile art project and one could use contrasting paper, ribbons, sfabrics to create more abstract patterns. By using a variety of textures, one might even be able to create some abstracted images such as a fuzzy animal or monster (add stick-on googly eyes), a moonlit sky with shining stars, a sunset, or ocean waves.

Ooh. I love this idea. Every August for the last five or six years now, I've taken part in naarmamo -- a community dedicated to making one new piece of art every day for the month of August. And by the middle of the month, I'm starting to itch for making three-d sculptural things, instead of drawing yet another doodle.

So I'll have to give this a try.

Also, I bet you could adapt any needle point pattern, if you cut the "warp" of the paper loop narrow enough...

That August art marathon sounds very cool: I'll try to check it out.
