It’s official. I have finished my C&G course. I’ve received two stiff tickets – don’t ask me why there were two. I’ve not got my head around that one yet. And I now have a student exhibition up on the Design Matters website. It is interesting to see the entire 2 1/2 years of work compressed [...] I’ve added another gallery with images of Colour Vortex. There are more and larger images there than in my previous post. What will I do now with all my [...] Well a 2 1/2 year journey has come to an end. I finished my final assessment piece for my C&G Certificate last weekend. We had to wait until this weekend to get some decent light for photographing as I only sewed the last stitch in the evening of Easter Monday. I have to admit that when [...] I have decided what to do about the quilting on my hexagon spiral. I’ve collected lots of neat quotes about colours and am going to quilt them onto the quilt. It’s not something that I’ve done before so I thought I’d better get some practice in first. This was my first attempt – a bit wobbly. The second [...] I thought I had the quilt top for my final assessment piece finished. I had sewn all the spirals together and filled in the hole with the black circle. It was all pressed and ready to be admired on the design wall, but my eyes kept sliding off the black focal point to an annoying dark [...] I had a productive last two weekends and have made good progress on the quilt top for my spirals quilt. The coloured spirals are now completed and each colour sewn together. It’s starting to look like a quilt on my design wall. After a break of a week I felt there may be pieces that needed [...] The last two weekends I’ve been working on the piecing of the hexagon spirals. The first task was to produce a full sized cartoon on brown parcel paper. Since the sketches were 30 cm square, I decided the easiest was to scale up to a 30 inch square. No complicated maths to do then. I don’t [...] We had more snow overnight on Saturday and woke to white again on Sunday – not that we had many other colours beforehand except grey and a bit of vegetation finally peeking out. A good day to stay home and get on with my final assessment piece. I pulled all my fabric out onto the floor [...] We are holed up here in snow so I have some unexpected time on my hands. But not that much since we spend a good few hours each day shovelling snow away, so that we may be able to get out before next Easter. I had some more feedback from Marie suggesting that maybe my black hole [...] After feedback from Marie I have decided to go with the idea of spirals and colours fading to black and white. When I saw the sketches up on the computer screen, even before any comments from Marie, my instinct was to go with the spirals. As Marie pointed out – the metamorphosis ideas, which were influenced [...] |
