Spiro-Graphic :D (textiles)

I started off with my experiments with Spiro-graphs by drawing some in my sketch book that use the same colours as the Chakras.

   I liked the look of the Spiro-graphs in place of the drawn symbols. Also because the markers that I previously used when through to the other page and the Spiro-graphs make it easier to use small markers. The next step was to relate this to textiles. I then had the idea to embroider the Spiro-graphs. There were to ways to do this. The first was to hand embroider and to do it with the sowing machine. I found the hand embroidery to be more successfully as the the sowing machine is not something that I am very used to or good with and so produced results with less quality.

   I thought that the best way to expand the field of research would be to explore other ways of  applying the Spiro-graphs to material. I will try screen printing next.
