everyday inspired by color

 A collection of images inspired by a wattyl color paint strip
 a color strip of blacks and greys with such names as rare ebony, river dolphin & slate quarry
 I gathered items with similar color tones to the paint strip from around our house and garden
assembled the items in various arrangements & captured numerous shots with the camera set in monochromatic
inspiration everywhere, everyday

from the sketchbook - ginger study part 2

Beautiful and sunny over the weekend perfect for further creative playtime with our gingers. I started with a light rubbing using an oil stick onto fabric and some sketching.
Then I started to wonder what the inside of the flower looks like.
 I carefully cut from the top straight down to discover the inside.
 Inside has a beautiful texture and some parts are slightly raised enabling me to roll paint across the surface and use the flower like a stamp to firstly print onto paper and then onto fabric.
I call these exploration sessions creative playtime 
- the early stages of starting a new project/series -
a good time to explore ideas, products and techniques
