My pictures did not make it. One more try.

Kiwi Mosaic

Day 2 of blogging. I feel a little more relaxed. My C&G 'free applique' is complete and finishes the last activity for module one. I'll see what Catherine has to say. She will likely want more achromatic samples. I really enjoyed all of he activities and learned so much. I think I will copy the e-mails that I sent to Catherine and somehow add a pocket to my sketchbook so when I finally am able to call myself a fibre artist I can look back at the start. A before and after of sorts.
Yesterdays idea of posting all of my activities for unit 1 is not going to happen! It is hard enough handling the ideas each day brings.
My voyeur habit that started on flickr is now in effect with the C&G textile group I joined. I like to 'watch'. I may join flickr if only because of the copius numbers of photos I have.
This is my mosaic. Where to from here? I'm thinking a diagonal jagged line following the tiles to eliminate the heavy shadow. I don't mind the rectangleness though. It's at the wait and see percolation stage.
I played with my kiwi mosaic in the kaleidoscope program. The possiblilites are endless and they all look great. I ended with this kaleidoscope.

All blogs start somewhere. I will begin with Activity 10, City and Guilds Course 7922-03, Patchwork and Quilting Online. I will work back to Activity 1 with the plan to have a diary of my work and progress since I started the Level 3 certificate course April 27, 2007.These are the colourwheel dyeing exercises that I sent to Catherine. I can see I will have to create that imaginary person I am talking to for this to feel real.
