Have played around Photoshopping several copies of
yesterdays images – mainly related to colours & shapes (as well as
cut-outs). I was also superimposing shapes etc from one to another – all to do
with the year I’m trying to show. At this moment in time, the year shown
represents a particular memorable occasion. Remembering the ‘lines’ artwork of
last week, I decided to try some stencils - they are also appropriate for what
I’m trying to show. I liked the first effect I did (see above) so will possibly
try some similar ideas following on from this.
Whilst creatively ‘experimenting’
in my new technique for ideas etc, it’s also helping me to consider how I’m
ultimately going to produce the image as a final piece of ‘artwork’. I’ve
mostly worked in textiles but for this piece, want to do it using other
mediums. I did various ‘experimental’ samples a few years ago (many included
within the Make-Do-&-Mend Embroidered Book) & quite likely will
resurrect some of these.
NOTE: I’m still unwalkable so unable to get into my
studio. All my samples, tools etc are there with their references so for the
time being I’m having to ‘make-do’ just
using the computer (rather appropriately as you’ll find out later!!).
