I'm back to playing with my graph paper crosses, applying a few of my new photoshop tricks and messing about changing the colors. The originals are done in marker on graph paper. I made a bunch a while ago to collage onto canvas. (Note to self: locate and finish.)
Some of these are in the process of becoming fabric. I'm still all over the place with color but eventually I hope to create things that match up--large, medium and small scale prints. Something smallish to cut and sew that could be stuffed and then embellished with beads and then worn on a kumihimo cord like a pendant
The problem is after I work on this for a while I go on overload with all of the ways I can manipulate my original image. I don't see stuff right away. I've learned not to dismiss anything until I give it a second look with fresh eyes.
Look at this one. I think the above would make an amazing pillow. Reducing the scale is nice, too.
