Fiber Tools Tile

Here’s the next in the series of artist’s hand tool tiles for the MT Museum of Art & Culture mural, the Fiber Tools. This was a hard one to design because so many of them are just straight skinny sticks. So I decided to lay them out crisscrossing each other as if they were woven. I had thought this was the least successful of the 6, but the last thing I did on them was add the threads coming out of the spindle, using a pen. If you look close at the group shot, you’ll see that each one is a bit different. Now I really like them. This is the third in the series so I’m half done now, and moving on to Blades.
