Experimenting with CAD...


It's been a while since I posted, so I thought I'd share some more work that I've been doing...


It's coming up very close to the end of the uni year (scary!) and to the end of my Final Major Project. Ideas have changed and I've spent far too long deciding over the smallest of decisions but I'm hoping that these CAD designs will be close to finalised for my final pieces in the exhibition. It's been a long few days cut and pasting (and I think I have square eyes from staring at my monitor!) but I think it was all worth it.


Here's a few of the things Ive been working on...Hope you like!


























I've gone for a dark, magically feel in these design which I hope shows through. I think some pieces work a lot better then others (especially those towards the end). Going to continue experimenting and print layers onto different textured paper, some mark making and then work on top with a little bit of stitch and photo transfer.


Still lots to do!

Sketching...

So I thought it was time I shared a little bit of my work - first time I've put any of it on the internet (scary stuff!)


As I've said before, my current project at Uni is A Midsummer Night's Dream and I'm focusing on prints for cards. Now these artworks are just to get me going, I'm going to manipulate some on CAD and experiment with different printing techniques and stitch and other exciting things.


Hope you like!

Flower Line Drawings


I've spent a lot of time drawing trees so I thought I'd mix it up just with a few floral drawings - going to play about with these in CAD.

So back to the trees...

Apologises for the poor scanning quality! Images are brighter and less patchy...

I then began to experiment with masking fluid and creating negatives of my figure motifs...

Think I'll tidy these up in photoshop a little and then start to layer with some other backgrounds I've done and maybe some handmade papers to print onto.

Now, back to work!
