cutout

cutout book inverted

this is inverted, the original is cut out of white paper. I meant to photograph it but my tutor has stolen it. It folds together into a book, so they overlap and you can see through them. So closed up it is a very complicated image, then gets less complicated as you unfold it.

bargain

Found this amazing book in a charity shop. Expect many, much better, drawings of animals.

total bargain

just some of the things you can see within

horror of horrors

anteaters are ludicrous beasts

I find it hard to believe some of these animals really exist, they are so impossibly bizarre. I wont believe in them til I see them with my own eyes. Sorry anteater.

Geometry

This pattern makes not so much sense.

Pattern making

I want to print up huge rolls of wallpaper, this is my new dream. I have never designed any kindof repeating pattern before, it muddled my brain, here is my first one ever. It's my computer desktop background now ( a paler version so i can see) and it tiles perfectly, I can hardly believe it.

Colour hog

I also made one with colour. Wanted it to look like a screen print but the store wouldnt print onto my painted background in case it melted onto the drum. And colour copies are £40 instead of £2. So the black is on acetate.
