Description
Yesterday I made a couple of little sketchbooks with the kinds of papers I like to work on in them. The books themselves are around 4" x 6" so the paper inside is even smaller ...I've decided in one to create a reference collection of textures and patterns that I particularly like - taking them in the first instance from work I've already done, but also from visits to places too ... hopefully it will grow ...
Black and white ink on brown paper.
5.5" x 3.5" approx.
around 5 hours to do the drawings.

I struggle to come up with new patterns sometimes, so this is a good idea - strike while the iron is hot so to speak.
I'm still amazed at how much depth you get in your work ... that's my next thing to work on I guess ... when inspiration strikes again. Not much has been happening in that department.

I know the feeling about inspiration - I'm in danger of doing nothing but abstract psychedelic designs at the expense of other sources of inspiration/techniques ... so I'm trying to put it to one side ... the lil sketchbook of patterns/textures and words (quotes have appeared in there already!) is a way I can channel the abstract while I search for inspiration from the world around me ...
Oh, I posted a page from the childrens' book I was telling you about ... thought you may like to see!

The most important thing you can be is YOURSELF - to find out what you are good at, where you excel, and what inspires you most of all. It takes time, practice, patience to develop skills and to bring out the best in YOU. I have no doubt at all that when you find exactly where you are 'best' you will develop that area of creativity and it will spill out into all areas of you.
Thank you for the wishes for school ... it'll be fine I'm sure
The holidays fly by because we enjoy them ... yet time doing something you don't enjoy drags because you are wishing you were doing something else ... I try to focus on what needs to be done rather than on what I could be doing so that the time flies by

Oddly, I was looking at seeds and nuts and other things the other day for inspiration

Very nice. The brown balances really well with the black and white. I love all the different textures.
