sorry for the kind of crummy picture, but i am a kind of crummy person. ;]
the process:
- first, i painted a weird picture of pieces of maps from google, that i pieced together myself. it's made up of places i go and places i live and places where people i love live.
- next, i scanned that image and played with the colors in photoshop. then i printed it onto cotton using a huge printer. it's probably the most intimidating piece of technology i've ever worked with. brittany makes it look so easy.
- then, i embroidered the hell out of it.
now you're up to speed.
there's still like, a teensy bit of embroidering left to do, i have to put the legend in and a compass rose. then i plan on silkscreening some landmarks and things all over this baby. so it looks like a map of something and not just roads going everywhere. i guess i better get a move on.
here's a close-up. i really dig the colors.
goals for the weekend:
- transfer drawings on to cotton for collaboration project.
- finish liberal arts stuff(almost done anyway).
- finish embroidery on this map, draw out symbols for silkscreening.
- ride my bike!
- stay away from the internet/my computer in general. ha.
