100x100 Computational Design Challenge

Throughout 2020 I created 100 computational designs in 100 days as a way to learn creative coding and explore generative art

Day 78 - Stitch Sampler

stitch-sampler-1.png

I’ve never been much of a stitcher, though I tried to teach myself to knit a few years ago and loved to do embroidery as a kid. I’m actually fascinated about weaving and crafting tapestries, and this project has given me lots of ideas that I think would be really wonderful to hold in my hands. I’m going to explore this thought for the remainder of the week, starting with this stitch sampler which combines a set of pre-establishing vertical and horizontal stitches into a randomly ordered creation.
