scribbles and roses

Another busy day, half term, and a broken down car, my daughter's not mine. Wondering when I'll get a chance to get my ideas down. Having them isn't a problem it's catching them and recording them. How many do I just not give a chance to develop. This is great- the 30 day creative challenge and it starts tomorrow. I've had my warm up and it's been great a little adventure into my head. 

I picked my son up from the station this evening, his train was half an hour late, I was sitting there thinking, I have so much to do and my new blog idea, scribble over my rose picture, when will I do it. Well it's done and I'm really pleased with the result. Tomorrow I'll think about what I'd do with it if it was a piece of fabric.

Bank holiday Monday - half term, busy day, taxi mum, my daughter's boyfriend's 21st birthday. Not much time to be creative but time to design my tango dress quickly before I find my shoes and go... 6th lesson in my beginners 6 week course.. loving it

flower doodles and pretty knickers

Textile doodles and flower scribbles 

to dance for...

Not much time to get my ideas down today, 

just about to get back on the dance floor...

my favorite place to be... so here's a dress for tango, and when I can dance it well enough to do this dress justice... I'll print the fabric and make the dress.

                                                          and the printed tango rose

                                                                                      ok that's it off to dance xx

Roses, not chocolates, petals!

Thinking pretty, and I started with a photograph of some flowers I'd taken last summer.

        I cut out the rose and multiplied it, changing the sizes and rotating the image

and small repeats

then I took the one head and applied the filter-artistic-cut out played 

with the colours and got a nice colour block image... and designs

 

yum textiles x

         Well, the place i got to yesterday was so not finished...

         I played some more with the ideas which were just beginning 

         in my head and created some interesting prints.

 

Warm up, pre-June head start sorry couldn't wait x

  Laser cut Daisy wrap

Why wait til June! I need to get my ideas out, maybe then I'll have some room in my head to know where I want to go, and why am I waiting? Get out of the stands and into the game. So the next 30 days may make no sense, just a load of ideas, designs spilling out of my head and hopefully caught on this blog, but I'm hoping by the end I will have some direction!

Starting with my love of textiles and fashion. Here's an idea for a wrap.
