Begining the Year, and Taking It Further. . .

Taking it further. . . I'm doing it!  Along with all the other things planned for the new year.   A new challenge each month (with a couple of options) throughout 2008 working from concept to resolved design in +/- 30 days with regular progress posts along the way.

First challenge, second option:  I'm working Sharon's color scheme.

Now, I don't expect anyone to like the sketch. . .this sketch is a form of pictorial note-taking.  Would you expect the penmanship of nuns (the kind that teach grade school and detain you for not closing your "e"s) from a grad student in a lecture class with the 200 word per minute professor?  That's how fast some of these ideas come and go, so you get my drift.  And don't worry if you can't decipher my annotations.  I'm posting the page "as is" so you get an idea of how I work. . .sketching and annotating, ad infinitum throughout the process.

Next step is to get the colors in-hand.  I'll be mixing, dyeing, printing, etc.  Ferreting-out and conjuring, too.  Collecting all; using some.  Stand-by. . .there's more to come. . .

Barbara, your comment on my blog lead me to your blog. I haven't worked my way through the Take It Further list yet. Anyway, I love your design. It will be good to see how it turns out. The mixing, dyeing, printing, etc, sounds like its going to be lots of fun.

The sketch looks good to me. I also like to see how other people come up with ideas and work through their design. This challenge is great for getting to view other's work that you probably wouldn't have otherwise seen. Can't wait to see how your design turns out. Thanks for the comments on my blog!

The sketch looks great! I too like to see how others work through their design process. This challenge is wonderful as it allows me to see so many other peoples work that I might otherwise have missed. Looking forward to seeing the completed design and the other steps along the way! Thanks for the comments on my blog.

Thanks for coming by and checking out what I am doing with the challenge. I am always impressed with people who dye their own fabric and will be checking back to see what you come up with. Have fun! Jane

The sketch looks like a great start to me. I really like this challenge because it allows me to see so many people's work that I might not have found otherwise. Thanks for the comments on my blog. I can't wait to see how your design develops.
