Brazilian Indigenous People Embroidered Alphabet

Personal project made after research by Brazilian Indigenous People. I created this embroidery alphabet inspired by their body paintings, basketry, and crafts, that have a strong geometric theme made from lines creating intricate patterns. I used a rustic fabric as a reminder of their art of basketry and the colors red and black representing their mostly used natural pigments. The final result was similar to a tapestry with a pattern made from letters and numbers.
