creating a rich textured surface
Saturday, May 27th, 2006I saw this entry from Beatrix P. Marmaladecheeks on this last whiplash “color competition. It is part of a counterfeit crochet project, which in itself is a pretty interesting project. But, it was not the counterfeiting aspect of it that caught my attention. What struck me was that in the act of copying the patchwork variable pattern, ms. marmaladecheeks created a really rich crocheted surface. The affect is really different from the original and I think it is totally better. Much more complex. You could use this technique by taking any collage of patterns, say a photographic collage or even a quilt and then recreating it in another textile medium of any type, not just crochet. This would be a great way to create a rich textured surface.
