playing around with houses cut-outs on a painted background |
much in the spirit of last weekend's blog post, i would like to share another one of my weeks past. it's been a busy one, with too many office days, not enough creative ones.

page from travel notebook. i will come back to that next week |
i was limited to sketching on the commuter train, which is messy but doable. a few brush strokes do have the power to wipe away a cumbersome day.

a bigger backgrounds map, carefully assembled digitally |
in the studio i've been working away on a map of the area i live in. it is a long time project, which is putting it mildly. i managed to scan the map into my computer.

the cut-outs (photocopies) |
this has opened up all sorts of opportunities, in that i will be using cuttings from the 2014 daily project and 2016 exhibition to play around with on the scanned map.

one of four |
i'm also into the four seasons series again. i hold autumn in my hand, but am happy to work out spring and summer now. these will most probably become a set of postcards.
next, or simultaneous move would be to somehow work out my tinyWOOLFalphabet i've been building up and produce eye catching postcards using the bespoke letters.

a few weeks ago i picked up a few twigs. today they kind of flower, this is from a few weeks ago |
in a distant future i will come round to my present daily project and work out designs, tapping into the portfolio i have build the past year. there's a rhythm now, it seems.
have a fantastic week ahead! ♥
Gotta love rhythms! Its great to see your work a fitting together so well. Happy Easter to you, Nadine! xoxo ��
