I used several methods to help me get clearer pictures or closeups of these photos. I used the cropping tool to isolate some of the pictures, then zoomed in to get a larger view. I also used Photoshop tools such as Filter, Sketch, then Graphic Pen or Stamp. I also used Filter, Artistic then Poster edges, which helped me isolate designs further. I can see that several of these drawings could be translated into machined strips. Others could be translated by shibori, or other patterning methods with dyes and paints. I am excited to try them out.
