An easy design exercise

I showed you this photograph a few days ago

I thought I’d try something, so I took it into photoshop and played with it a bit.

First of all I extracted the grainy surface

Then I manipulated it

I love it!  It looks just like stitching.  So simple, and all thanks to ‘glowing edges’.

Now, I just need some fabric and a needle and thread.  Where DID I put them?
