I set up a workspace--moved and cleared a table, and this morning I'm sketching snaps to print (from a photo, so they stay still). Printmaking class starts on Tuesday--I'll try a proof first...
Snaps are deceptively simple machines. I'd never looked closely at how they work--so clever!
Machine-made objects are hard to draw . . . because they are hard-edged.
Nature's edges are variable, so if you draw them different from the original, often it doesn't matter so much.
I like the idea of a wobbly image of a machine-made object-- looking as if it were a plant, or a cat.
So long as it's still recognizable.
How forgivable are machine-made edges???
Not sure, but that's what I'll try with the sewing notions series...
