KOEL POSTCARDS
Ai.
There is something almost comic about asking an algorithm for help with crafts that predate electricity by several thousand years.
Swiss darning.
Swiss darning goes by two names because it does two jobs. Call it duplicate stitch when you're adding a motif to a finished piece.
Flowers.
Flowers have been worked into textiles for as long as there have been hands to hold a hook or needles.
Cables.
Cables were not designed for cushions. They were designed for survival.
Origami.
Origami begins with a flat sheet and ends with a form.
Linen.
Linen is the contrarian of natural fibers. It starts stiff, slightly resistant, a little difficult.
