Summer Schemings

Some more pattern experiments from the past couple of weeks (click to make bigger).







I've also started working on some medieval-type border ornaments which is really fun - I'll post those a little bit later.

Tonight is also the end of year show at the Centre des Textiles Contemporains - I've got some work set up there, and will be showing visitors around the school throughout the evening. Everyone is welcome, and the show 'Passage Haptique' is up until June 13th. My and my fellow textile students' work will shown until June 2nd... then it will be our turn in one year to show our final projects!

It's been a long time since my last post, because I've been working away both at school and in my temporary studio at The Long Haul. I've been using my time at the studio to get back into painting and drawing and as a result I have become a bit obsessed with pattern designing - drawing things by hand and manipulating them in Photoshop... I've been loving trying some things out in that direction. Here are some of the latest results:








(I feel like this last one would be be perfect for gift-wrapping anything in Pee-Wee's Playhouse)

I've always loved hand-lettering and calligraphy so I've been enjoying practicing that too.
