Studio Series: Folded Patterns II

In this post I wrote about seeing my young friend's smocked polka dot dress and being inspired by the distorted dots. I now have a picture of the dress to show you. Below is a pattern that I created from a scan of one of my folded drawings that I then put into repeat in Photoshop. I've digitally printed this pattern onto fabric, cut it into tag shapes, and then added my signature obsessive stitching.
