We looked at five different materials - Fabric, Metal, Glass, Ceramic and Wood and learned about different finishing techniques and how to think about creating art to be applied on 3D objects.<br />
<br />
Here are my three favourite boards I created:<br />

These last five weeks I have been taking part in the <a href="http://makeartthatsells.com/" target="_blank">Make Art That Sells</a> course by the illustration agent Lilla Rogers. This is quite an intense course and I have really learned so much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here are the outcomes of my three favourite assignments:</div>

During week 3 we looked at children's book illustration and had to illustrate the cover or internal pages for The Three Billy Goats Gruff. I had so much fun painting goats!</div>

Week 4 covered wall art and we were assigned colours - I was given yellow and pink - not what I would usually go for but I surprised myself and I think I might use brighter colours more often now.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the final week we had to design a "hyper-lush" zipper pouch based on a personal collection. Not really collecting much myself I went for a botanic garden theme - I'd have my own Victorian greenhouse filled with exotic plants if I could.</div>

I'm not sure I'm confident enough in my sewing abilities to attempt this just yet! But when I am I could try the <a href="http://www.colettepatterns.com/sewing/albion" target="_blank">Albion</a> coat by Colette Patterns, I've seen a few lovely versions, especially <a href="http://www.peppermintandpaisley.com/2014/03/10/herringbone-albion-duffle-coat/" target="_blank">this one by Peppermint and Paisley</a>. </div>

I'm going to post one of these a week for the next wee while. And maybe I'll actually sew some of them, if I do I'll let you know!<br />
<br />
So here is the first - a green skirt with pleats and a row of buttons down the front.<br />

There are are a couple of patterns I have my eye on for this skirt - the Wiksten Tulip Skirt available <a href="http://www.interweavestore.com/linen-tulip-skirt" target="_blank">here</a> or maybe the Helena skirt from <a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/helena-skirt" target="_blank">BurdaStyle</a>.Katie Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13327906138355943291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315157983991008125.post-61978819163541556632014-10-26T12:10:00.000-07:002014-10-26T12:10:37.180-07:00Day trip to Banks Peninsula<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Went for a day trip to Banks Peninsula this weekend and did the short walk at Otepatotu Reserve which takes you through a totara forest, the name Otepatotu translates to 'the place of the fairies' - we didn't see any of them but the mosses, lichens and ferns were so beautiful. I took some photos but they didn't turn out so well in the dark of the trees so here are some from the summit and from Akaroa.</div>

I've had a lot of fun drawing rabbits for <a href="http://www.thelittlegardenstudio.com/" target="_blank">The Little Garden Studio</a> over the last couple of weeks. They are a working garden and community space based in Vancouver, Washington. They'll also be stocking some of my prints too.<br />

I'm trying to carve out more time to do some sewing for me. I'm fast running out of clothes and really love making my own. I have a pile of lovely fabrics and a <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/inmybackyard/make-some-clothes/" target="_blank">pinterest board</a> full of inspiration. I've also signed up to <a href="http://www.coletterie.com/wardrobe-architect/the-wardrobe-architect" target="_blank">Collette Patterns Wardrobe Architect</a> project - this looks like it's going to be a fun way to help me get a few useful garments sewn up.Katie Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13327906138355943291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315157983991008125.post-77205554626871351922013-12-28T11:26:00.002-08:002013-12-28T11:26:56.438-08:00Birdlings FlatA day trip to Birdlings Flat.<br />
