Just a quick visit

These are some of my designs I did for my City & Guilds course. The source for each of these was the manipulated paper exercise and I also used some of the painted tissue and papers for the backgrounds. This was torn and woven strips of paper. The dark and light are quite natural. I didn't think I would get anywhere with the manipulations I had done but this is pretty cool. I used the kaleidoscope filter for the top layer.
Having experimented with Notan designs for the past little while I created a notan in paper for this design. I did a bit of manipulating to get the persective, circle I think it's called. The background is the baking painted baking foil I did for a previou activity in the course.
Again I used one of my painted papers and added a filter to it. The kaleidoscope design was created from a simple diamond. Once again I used the Notan samples and added a little bit of red fill. The paper samples were all done in white!

I have little time today. Just had lunch and am about to go pack the car for class. I seem to be chasing my tail at the moment. I just need to get into a routine with my classes and all will be back to normal. Just when I think I am well organised something comes along to rock the boat, upsets my equilibrium. Still you didn't drop by to hear me whine. I seldom whine really there's little point.

Hi Carol


I love them all, but the kaleidoscope is great. Sounds like a lot of work to do these, but oh the rewards when you see it finished.
The last one reminds me of a peacock, with all thier wonderful colors. (This one would make a great teabag design).

I'm sure you'll get a routine going soon, and all won't seem so hectic.

Have a good day

Hi Tonniece and Dianne,

Glad you like the PSP images. I hadn't thought of using the design as a teabag design but you are right Tonniece it may well look good.

I too am working on a special project, how coincidental! LOL Actually I am all but finished mine. I just have some embellishing to do.

Take care you guys and have a lovely day.

I am off to check in with my QU students class opened yesterday.

Hi Suzanne,

If you want to do the tea bag folding then you should. You are right things are easy to do when you know how - but guess what most things are easy!

Have a restful and wonderful weekend.
