Life Book 2015 - Week 3 Lettering Assignment


This lesson was about creating our own stylized lettering to use in our art.  I don't have some of the recommended supplies for this exercise.  So rather than using watercolors on most of the colored areas, I've used gouache mixed with water.  The background coloring constancy from one section to the next (behind the letters) needs some work, but I like the letter shapes and having used writing to enhance each.  Now...need to do more practice pieces!

This piece was created through a class offered by Tamara Laporte from Willing Arts Ltd. For more information, visit this link: www.willowing.org.

    Your lettering is very cool. Love the A - reminds me of the Eifel Tower... and the soul has a very 70s vibe.

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas.  It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw.  There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along.  I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges.  The fabric also tends to ravel easily.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.
