New under the needle

Continuing from the museum-maze idea - and from the stitching on this "flat" version of the maze -

combined with the discovery of senninbari, "thousand stitch belts" from WW2 Japan - specifically the back of the stitching on this one -

... which has led to a desire to make french knots in a grid, moving from one to another to make a "maze" on the back.

Rather than printing a grid of circles, as in senninbari (you can see them through the cloth in the example above), I used what was on hand - some printed linen napkins.

the front

the back

thinking ahead to get a "meaningful path" and leave no empty squares

...but if you set out to leave squares empty, other types of mazes become possible ...

dotty, isn't it!

Working title: "Finding your way". These might lead to smaller pieces that become pages in a book.
