Steal · texture/materialmodel draft
Alternating diagonal bands of plain weave and supplementary-weft floats create a stepped optical pattern. Each band is two to three threads wide; the weft-float sections sit exactly one thread above the ground, producing a crisp moiré shift when viewed at arm’s length. The repeat unit is a 4×4 block that tiles without visible seam.
Steal · component patternmodel draft
The pattern is built from two values only: ground (natural linen) and float (slightly raised off-white). No outline, no fill colour. The optical vibration comes entirely from the change in surface angle and thread direction, not from hue.

Provenance & takedown

Publicly sourced references link to an original; private or concept examples are labelled separately. All referenced work belongs to its creators. What this vault adds — and what it is for — is the commentary: the steal-notes are the content, not the pixels. Notes are written by hand unless their card says otherwise; a model draft is always labelled. Study use only.
