I really enjoyed embroidering the first eye but it was really difficult to try and get the second one extremely symmetrical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I then moved onto the trees which I struggled to come up with a design for a while. I went with blackish charred tree trunks and branches that had been burned with 1.25 trees still intact and almost being burnt. I didn&#8217;t really know how to portray fire well but liked the idea of mending since it does create that hole through the fabric which I also highlighted on the other side to show that you can&#8217;t really just cover something up with technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also did some duality between fire and leaves when doing the sides of the tree side. This continued to the ends of the blindfold where the fire side I burned with a lighter and the leaf side I sewed up for a clean edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1918\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5833-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5833-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5833-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5833-edited-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5833-edited-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5833-edited-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5833-edited-2048x1534.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5833-edited-1200x899.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I overall really enjoyed the freedom in this project.
