What with all the yucky weather and ice outside I decided Sunday was a day for catching up in my seed journal. I hadn't been working in any particular order, but I had drawn and inked out my sketch for "Vessel" last week so that needed finishing. I'm staying with the same materials for the time being- a novelty for me, who's usually flitting between projects to vary my addiction, so again I'm using acrylic inks and technical pens. I'm also staying with a limited palette to emphasise the theme of seeds/ nature, although I may use one new colour in each spread.
This is "Vessel" completed...
I also chose to do the "S" words prompt
I spent some time thinking about seeds, growth, how it all relates to my life and made a list of appropriate words. I wanted to work in a precise way rather than just plop words over the page, so I began with a central seed, and created radials to separate the words. After that it was all impromptu, choose a word and find a relevant visual symbol to accent it...
I used the same materials and colours as before, but with alot more emphasis on contrasts and shapes rather than natural shading...
Four more spreads and I'm up to date... yay!
