Taking a piece of fabric, roughly 12 x 18 inches, tapering two sides for the ties and a straight hem on the square piece at both ends. I pleated each end of the square piece and slotted them into the ties and sewed together to secure in place. I envisioned what I wanted to create from a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, A Study of a woman’s head (c.1490) and I drew my own version of it in Silverpoint.
