Progress...
I thought I would share with you a few bits that I have done so far for my Summer project on Karl Blossfeldt. Feel free to comment below :)

| Ink seeped through from another page so I made it into a foxglove... |

Above is a pattern I made using the embroidery sample on Photoshop.

Natural Forms
Since buying an iPad, my blogging has took a hit, mainly due to the poor design of the app, so apologies!
But I have also finished my 1st year and have been relaxing a little. Of course, this is disturbed by getting the brief for my summer project. It seems like only a couple of months since I got the email about the last one, which was a about the Alphabet and using different techniques to fill each letter of the alphabet. I really enjoyed doing that project and am hoping this one will be just as enjoyable.
My new project is based primarily on the work of Karl Blossfeldt, a German photographer who took photos of the form and structure of plants and flowers in black and white.

So far, I have researched in depth what paths to take with this project, and have only completed two pages of my sketchbook. For the first page, I wanted to do a detailed drawing of my favourite of his photographs. And for the second page, I wanted to show the same plant using different techniques. I even went back to my childhood and folded the page to make a symmetrical print.

This is only the beginning of my project. So far, I am really enjoying it, I have always loved drawing flowers even from a small girl. Hopefully this will turn into a lovely textile design as I will be transferring this into a print upon returning to University in September.
