Abstract

Abstract:This article shares a practice of using digital images to create patterns for embroidery with aspects of information literacy within makerspaces. The author shares her enjoyment of a fiber art practice born of using digital images to create fiber art patterns from rare illuminated manuscripts. The author suggests that because images from these manuscripts are often considered hidden images, offering a program for pattern design will increase research discovery and opportunities for scholarship. This autoethnography offers one librarian’s experience using digital images from rare illuminated manuscripts and the ancient embroidery technique laid work to create colorful fiber copies of musical instruments and musicians for her art piece “The Medieval Screen.” Laid work is documented from the famous Bayeux Tapestry, and fiber copies of hidden images are one vibrant way to display forgotten images. The author asks if there will be a significant increase in downloads and views of historical digital images from offering makerspaces to teach this method combined with information literacy.

创客空间：通过数字图像实现纤维艺术的信息素养与图案设计相结合

摘要：本文分享了一个使用数字图像制作刺绣图案的实践，以及制作空间中的信息素养。作者分享了她对纤维艺术实践的享受，这种实践源于使用数字图像从罕见的照明手稿中创建纤维艺术图案。作者认为，由于这些手稿中的图像通常被认为是隐藏的图像，因此提供图案设计程序将增加研究发现和获得奖学金的机会。这本民族志提供了一位图书管理员的经验，她使用罕见的照明手稿中的数字图像和古老的刺绣技术为她的艺术作品《中世纪的屏幕》创作了乐器和音乐家的彩色纤维复制品，隐藏图像的纤维复制品是显示被遗忘图像的一种充满活力的方式。作者询问，通过提供makerspaces来教授这种与信息素养相结合的方法，历史数字图像的下载量和浏览量是否会显著增加。
