Stitched Crystal Maps

Through looking at crystals closely I was able to gather subconscious information to how crystals are formed; this lead me to creating possibly existing crystals based from the already existing crystal system of  Copper Sulphate crystals. I chose to use thick blue felt because of its fibrous nature, then using a sewing machine to compress the fibers into 'pockets'. All the crystal maps are free hand because I felt it necessary for the crystals to grow on their own through the fabric.
