Studio journal


I found the cutting out of the colours more useful than I thought they would be, and a great way to work out colour schemes before cutting cloth.As I had spent a lovely sunny day gardening I used the colours of the sun ,soil and flowers.


The painting with cling film worked well and I used acrylic paints

Oh Pippa you must be physic, I've just been working with a colour scheme very similar and was so surprised at what I came up with when I did a Sandra Meech exercise. But later on in the day I lost my confidence with it, so thanks so much for showing your WIP, it's so helpful.
I just love your HMS Pinafore, it made me smile :-)
PS note to self 'must not take self so seriously'!!!
