Cyan: An Unexpected Connection Between Colour and Sea
Some discoveries arrive with fanfare, while others sneak up on you quietly in the middle of an ordinary day. Mine came in the form of a colour.
A year of creative exploration: Part 3 exploring embroidery
If you’ve been following this mini series of my year of creative exploration, Part 1 and Part 2 describe my exploration into surface pattern design and the inspiration that came of that to create an artwork on wood. Although possibly not obvious at first, a natural development was to occur leading me into the world of embroidery. It happened quite subtly at first, but it has since developed into a passion. How it began When my mum passed 11 years ago she left me a few unfinished embroideries that she had been working on. One of my favorites was a Greek traditional folk style design from the island of Skyros…
I designed patterns inspired by letters of the Greek alphabet and cured my creative block
Happily I completed my personal project to design patterns based on the capital Greek letters!
My love of the Greek language
As a child I loved learning other languages. But whilst I was brought up bilingual I never actually had a single proper lesson or any kind of instruction in Greek whatsoever.
The 100 day project and a return to blogging.
This was going to be my first blog post of 2021. But my previous post took precedence because when I was introduced to Baya Mahedienne’s artwork I was too excited not to write about it immediately! 😊
