my creative space - floral

bluegreen70s

My creative space today is a bit of a secret, so instead I'm sharing some recent rough sketches, emphasis on the rough! Inspired by seventies florals this pattern started as a doodle and ended up in Illustrator where I can play with lines and colours. I like the way its going so I'll go back soon and draw it again, with cleaner lines and more idea about the different parts, how the repeat fits together. And I'd like to see if I can make it work in one colour.
For today I'm playing around with trims and ribbons, and yarn, lots of fun. Hopefully I'll be able to share where that's going soon. And no, its not a brooch!
Thanks as always to Kirsty for creating and hosting our creative space which this week has grown up and moved out of home!
