The last two weeks have been filled with experiments with paint, paper, glue and lots of sketching with all kinds of materials. I am nearly half way through the first part of the surface pattern design course I am doing with Rachael Taylor and Beth Nichols.
So far we learning how to make motifs for patterns, find our own style, find inspiration all around us and I have managed to torture myself on Photoshop too. Fortunately with Rachael's step by step instructions and taking it very slow I am formimg my first patterns and I am so excited to see them come together. I promise I will show you soon! ... in the meantime I have had fun creating this new collage, patchwork style painting I've entitled "Apple Blossom". I loved making this from ideas in my sketchbook, playing with colours and added in pieces of vintage wallpaper, in fact I think I shall make more! Happy Creative Weekend to All!
Dear Shae, I LOVE your collage. The patterns are so pretty and the colours are beautiful!! I especially like the apples and the bird pattern. Well done! It looks like you are learning heaps in the class! I cant wait to see more of your patterns! Wini xo
