# Exploratory sketch QA

Generated with built-in image_gen in exactly three calls, one per concept, using the original water-tower photograph as inspiration. The previous literal tower rendering was inspected only and was not supplied to generation. Exact submitted prompts are stored beside each PNG. All three results were visually inspected. These are concept drawings, not verified patterns or production engineering.

- **A FACET** — Clear textile interpretation: cream crown, brown stitched tapes, shallow faceted top, narrow octagonal brim, oval inner band. The crown reads medium/tall rather than low; a lower toile should be evaluated before selection. Eight-panel intent is suggested, but a complete numbered panel map and diagonal seam joins are not resolved. In particular, tape-to-top transitions require pattern work. Best candidate for a sewn study, not yet a proven construction.
- **B FOLD** — Strongest reduction to a wearable continuous silhouette. Angular ivory cloche, asymmetric fold/ridge, few brown stitched accents, interior band visible. Fold could visually be mistaken for an applied upper flap, so the blocking study must settle whether it is integral felt or requires a discreet seam. Requires trials for crown volume, stable faceting and brim-edge support. Some softness reduces exact architectural octagon clarity.
- **C DOUBLE EAVE** — Deliberately bolder: two levels, thin projecting edges, broad diagonal textile accents and an inside-band concept. No miniature windows or finial. More architectural than A/B but substantially reduced from the literal reference rendering. The lower crown narrows toward the upper edge rather than preserving the original tower's upward flare; this is a design deviation to discuss. The inside view is conceptual and does not establish fastening, structural support, balance or buckram joins. Requires a milliner prototype and edge/support trials.

Across sheets: views are coherent enough for design discussion but must not be treated as orthographic manufacturing drawings. Numbers identify views; do not describe them as verified construction steps. No invented dimensions were added.
