Make it in design

Im always trying something new.

I have seen on FB that so many are making patters, all kind of pattern so I did start searching for more to see. Then I found out about Make it in design summer school.
I joined without knowing much about it as there was a beginner track.
I have never worked in Photoshop or Illustrator so what to do,
 I had to learn to use Ps and Ai. 

I signed up for a class..es at Skillshare and have spent hours by hours 
going through the programs trying to learn and Im learning.

I have now submitted two assignments, the first one was so simple and not a pattern at all but could easily be changed to pattern if I had the knowledge . It was so much work learning how to cut out all my fishes and mixing them together on a new layer. 
The theme was  Tropical Paradise.


Next brief has the theme Tribal Shapes. I submitted my work few minutes ago. That shows a pattern, a pattern like that one we use for knitting here in Iceland. 

It took me hours to make but in the end I found out how I could have copied and pasted every item as soon as I did make them in stead of using the pen tool making every little thing I made. Ill show you the results in few days. Maybe I should have used more time adding outlines but I did not.. I don't know how to :) 

Have a beautiful day

Namaste

It is friday again..


Last weeks I have made these 3, love each and everyone of them.
they are painted with acryl on canvas.


As you know then Im taking classes all the time and in these paintings I can see the technic I have learned from few of my classes and I love to see how I mix all of them together to make my own style.


I love little birds so I had to have birds in my painting. It is always the same type of bird but with a different decorations.
I have one more canvas like these so Im going to make one more, have already made the sketch for it.


My paper maché lady is not ready yet. I have brought her home so I have her on my desk and se is ready to get her face done.


Now I have diary for year 2014 ready for sale as well as I have sketchbooks and notebooks.


when Im not painting Im knitting or crocheting. This time Im making some squares for 
A beautiful project for the children in Syria. 
  

I bought me a new book, it just arrived but it is a beautiful book from Mindy Murphy Lacefield, I highly recommend it if you love to look at others art, she also shows us the way she creates her girls. 

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend and happy PPF to you :)
