Data: Fingerprints

Looking at my first drawings, I continued to look at the idea of fingerprints, incorporating the technique of machine stitch into my samples. I used a standard embroidery foot, following one of my previous drawings in my sketchbook, and attempting to follow the pattern on the machine. After looking at the sample, I decided that I actually preferred the reverse side of the piece, as some of the stitches had been pulled away from the fabric due to the tension settings.
