Technique of the Week #12 - Single Line Drawing

Project hours:4 hours
Design and materials: 2 hours
Execution: 2 hours


I was sent a video to watch with this great animation of a single line in red.  It has a single red line that morphs to become various objects, and I thought immediately of thread on a white fabric. 
This photo of my cat, Bastet, was chosen out of hundreds of cool photos, mainly because of its simplicity.
The photo was printed out full size onto printer paper and the line the thread was to follow was traced out in marker.  This was transferred to the cloth with a water erasable marker, and stitched on that line.  I chose specifically not to have my lines cross or touch if I could help it. 
It's a cute depiction of an ornery cat!
