I struggled a lot with this brief especially thinking of an outcome of both balance and a craft. While I definitely enjoyed embroidery as a craft, it was hard to find how to get both to meld together and get an outcome.

I think most of the time I focus too much on outcome rather than the process or ideas. I also tend to get caught up with simplifying things or having shorter time making etc. I wasn’t too pleased with this outcome or the pattern, I definitely do think I could have been able to come up with a better pattern that translated the Japanese methods of balance and craft through embroidery.

I think going with a more denim texture in a different blue would have helped, or just a more defined pattern with a different world perhaps would have translated better for this brief.
