For this week's back to school CAS and wrap technique challenges. I tightly wrapped a surplus acrylic block with some packing twine, securing it with red-line tape. I inked the twine-wrapped block and applied it twice, at 90 degrees, to get the tweed-like texture. Interesting technique!

How cool that you used the technique on the focal instead of the background - it looks awesome on the apple!
