The recent lovely weather makes me want to sit outside. No time for sunbathing with deadlines coming up so I decided to set up a makeshift print table outside, better than my original plan of printing in the bathroom.

Easter Already!?
Where is the time going? I break up for two weeks Easter break tomorrow. I call it a "break" but I will be working my socks off for the deadline in five weeks. There is lots to do and the time is just flying by. If college was open throughout Easter I would certainly be in everyday.
I am currently painting out my 5th design. Here are some images of the designs I have completed so far.

Final Major Project So Far . . . .
So, I have finally got round to updating my blog. I am well in to my major project now and the pressure is on. Time seems to be running away with me and I am far too aware that it will all be over soon. I am enjoying every minute, even when I'm stressed, and will be really sad when I finish.
Anyway I thought I would share some images from my drawing sheets. I am producing designs for wallpapers. My theme is 'Botanical', flora based like my previous projects. This time I wanted to make it a bit different. I started thinking about adding a geometric twist and came up with the idea of mosaic. Then one thing led to another and I ended up drawing flowers in a squared form on graph paper.
I am really pleased with my squared drawings. I like how from a distance it is not as obvious that they are made up of squares and they take on the form of the flower, like a trick of the eye.
It takes me a long time to produce these drawings but I think they are worth the time and effort I put into them. I really enjoy painting them but I get a little bit frustrated towards the end as my eyes start to feel square :)
