after many weekends drawing potential textures for coating, it turns out that i will be likely using a design i liked towards the beginning of the whole process. it is ironic how things turn out this way! the pattern is similar to a cross-stitch and will be tested on organic cotton canvas to ensure it still has the properties necessary to be a sturdy handbag material. i am keeping my fingers and toes crossed it works out. if it works, it will be used in a tonal way - the coating matching the underlying cotton canvas - so the texture will be very subtle.
