This is one of my early ideas, because I think that children are something we need to celebrate - since they are our future. The butterflies signify how the children will grow/change to become that future. The children which would be printed on organza and threadf sketched) are all from wiki media and the butterflies (which would all be made 3d from lots of different coloured threads and fabric) are clip art. This was just a digital sketch, which I often do before creating a pattern and at this stage I am working on something else entirely - but you never know!
what a wonderful thought and collage! It would be interesting to see this one made up, but I'm also curious about what you are working on now! My digital skills are no where near good enough to sketch digitally - h#$$ I barely sketch with pen & paper!
ReplyDeleteVicki, this is amazing! Love your point of view concerning the celebration theme!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful interpretation of celebrate and I really like your use of the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! If you use the butterflies in your piece, I'll be very curious as to how you construct them.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I am not a pre-sketcher but maybe I need to be! I get this idea in my head and work from there... often it doesn't look like my idea in the end.
ReplyDeleteNo, My pieces don't often look like my digital sketch because the fabric, texture and colour are not there. Mostly I don't use the photos except as a starting point, although with this one I would have used the children.
