"In My House..."

Sometimes I feel like I'm making loads of progress with my current design project, then I look at how many weeks I have left until the exhibition and I panic! 

In a previous blog post I showed you my initial ideas of line drawings of things that are important to me, composed in a similar way to tattoo designs. Since then I've decided to call the project "In my house...". So I've been doing lots of drawings of people and things in my house and now I'm at the stage of putting very simple and basic patterns together, these will be further developed into more complex and impressive designs in the next few weeks. These are surface pattern designs to be used on fabrics and wallpapers for interiors.

You've already seen my "doggy" composition and here is a composition I call "jumble". It's a collection of line drawings of my glasses, dog collars, and scissors.



I did some more drawings of my dogs, this time with their bodies, not just their heads! Here is a little repeat pattern I made up with them.



Here is a pattern I've created with many different drawings of dog leads, it reminds me of worms!



I combined the dog leads and the dogs to make this repeat pattern


I've used a photograph of my carpet to create a textured background, here is an enlarged section of this pattern


Let me know what you think so far!

  1. Ohh I like! I think you could have a lot of fun with the dog leads! You said last week you liked the idea of thinking it looked like something but when you look closely you realise it's something else - That'd be a really easy thing to do with the dog leads - just use them as lines to create another drawing :-) (if that makes sense!) xx
