A few quick sketched ideas for the machine embroidered quilt:

Tuesday, 6 May 2014

Having thoughts of my life, I've just come across one of my work books with the above (dated October 1993) - some quick ink sketches for containers that were made for a textile game entitled 'Deja Vu'. At some point I will upload this item in more detail.

Some experimental samples & sketches (below right) reminded me of a previously sketched 'Honesty' design (below left) that I wanted to work up.

Cell sketches No. 4 - Water cells

Colour pencil sketches (on blue paper) of some cells found in ocean waters (copied from a book). The colours are those stains used in the original microscope photography to enable the cells to be seen more clearly. In drawing these, I've been trying to capture the transluscency as well as pattern formations.

Both sketches have resulted in ideas for further development.

Cell sketches No. 2 - Basic cells

To get me back into the mood of 'sketching' (having spent some time on the computer) & working with paper again, I've started off with a few initial sketches on cells ... already it's providing me with some fresh ideas to work with (have a look here to see some of them as they progress).

Button sketch ideas No.2

Some ideas of button stitching patterns are beginning to take form - not sure where this may lead but an interesting series of sketches!

I also keep thinking about a button mosaic surface covered in glass - a table top perhaps ??? Have probably sufficient buttons to make a huge dining table !!!!!
