Abstract: We have created several symmetric art works using craft technologies, specifically a computer-controlled embroidery machine and a computer-controlled cutter/scorer/plotter. We believe our mathematical art works are the first ones created with these technologies. We will describe the processes we used and show the symmetric art works that were produced.

Keywords: symmetry, craft technology, polyhedron, hyperbolic geometry.
