Here is my colour wheel
Some of my printed papers. Papers are A4 size. (I had only a small rubber to cut to make a printing block. I'll try some more printed papers once I have a larger printing block. I think a variety of sizes of image would be more interesting.) I choose the colour scheme of lime/violet, so also used green, lemon yellow, purple and red.
Some collaged crosses
More collages crosses, this time with some overlaps. Some of the paper I dyed was tracing paper. It keeps its strength and translucency and I like its crispness.
I had fun playing about with some of my digital photos with Photoshop. I printed one image on tracing paper according to instructions in Maggie Grey's "From Image to Stitch". It has worked really well and I can layer it later.
Here are some more of my digitally altered photos:
I was cutting up a pepper when I realised the pith made a cross shape. Here are some of the images I got playing around with the photos on Photoshop:
Sorry, got this one in twice by mistake and can't find out how to delete it!!
At the moment I'm still working on the collages, with symmetry/assymmetry, counterchange, repeat patterns and distortion. Haven't photographed it yet, but no more time today. Will post it another time.
Hi Catherine
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, however I disagree. You have gone into much more depth and taken much more time than me for your cross research. I love your photoshop manipulation. I must give it a go as I think my work needs to be a bit more 'random'. Keep up the good work. Its nice to have someone to exchange views with.
