Client Artwork
I am occasionally asked to create a stole based on artwork produced by someone else. The challenge here is to adapt that artwork to the unique canvas of a stole, which is only five inches wide on both sides of a gap that varies with the body of the wearer. My usual approach is to find a focal point in the artwork and center that on one side of the stole, then expand the design across to the other side of the stole in such a way that key details aren’t lost in the gap.
