I got this idea from Makena Gadient at the recent CoCA 24 hour Art Marathon. This is an excellent design study.
Take a stack of cards. Using a big sewing needle, poke random holes into the stack of cards so they all have the same pattern of holes. Then, using the same holes, create a different design for each by sewing yarn from hole to hole. This can also be done with pens instead of yarn, but keep your lines straight, and avoid the desire to make an identifiable “thing.” No portraits, no pictures. These are just lines. Abstract designs only.
Design question: Which compositions are your favorite? Why?
