What I Do and What I Actually Did Sept. 28 2013 Continued ( Creations of FVA Past)

While continuing to organize and find a spot for all kinds of things, all shapes and sizes I found an old cd that had pictures of some of my work from my first year ,second semester in Surface Design at NBCCD in 2007.
The first was a practice in assembling a new design by cutting up, piecing together and photocopying it. Then tracing the design on canson paper we were to make a monochromatic design using the photocopied design as a guide for levels of shading.

This one was to do half of the design from a wall paper in differing colors. The top left corner of wall paper sample is my painted piece and the bottom right corner is the wall paper.

Here is another wall paper sample. This time the wall paper is on the upper left while my painted piece is in the lower right.

This was an exercise in design and working with cardboard to create movement, structure and texture in design.  The design was influenced from a picture in a magazine with the hair spraying out in a similar fashion. The class was Design Class as taught by Jane Guerts at NBCCD.

This is a piece that I called Tree Spirit which was an experimental work I made in the spring of 2007. Tree Spirit was made with two sheets of silk, batiked and then put through a process of stiffening laid across rocks and brushed with fabric stiffener.  I used bendable wire wrapped and sewn around a coil of the same material that was sewn to stick out of the top. The metal wire was sewn at the bottom as well. Through travel and a variety of moves Tree Spirit lost her ability to stand.

This is an up close shot of Tree Spirits face. Through cutting down on clutter but wanting to keep an aspect of Tree Spirit I kept her face.
