since getting back into the studio, i've been almost obsessed with using the same drawing in as many applications as possible. i guess i just like to re-work things a million times until i'm either sick of it or have taken it to a point that i'm actually afraid i'll really destroy it if i touch it again.
when i began to work on the repeat project, i opted to use the originals, which meant cutting them apart and reassembling them. i then, digitally scanned each one and reassembled them as a repeat using photoshop. i've done some touching up, but for the most part the final repeat still needs some fine tuning.
here it goes:
one
two
threethat'll probably do for now. hopefully i won't walk into target and see these on a set of sheets...
anyway, there's still a lot of work that needs to be done. i've got a lot of ideas regarding color and other such options for finishing them. i'll save that for another post. it only took me 2 months to get this one up :)
daisyjanie - a seller on etsy, co-writer/founder of scoutiegirl and amazing textile designer has essentially captured my dream of printing my drawings on fabric and then creating a more utilitarian object with the fabric - such as handbags, which she does - and they are gorgeous. i have taken the month off from etsy as far as updating my store and re-listing items - just to see what happens. so far, i've had hardly any traffic through the store, however have actually had a few people "heart" me (which aside from the term, is actually a very cool way to find other artists of like mind and such). ironically, daisyjanie "hearted me" most recently and my heart skipped a beat with excitement. woo hoo.
