The image shows pieces of barkcloth. I chose the design in the middle on the right. The pattern has a ribbed effect through it.
 |
27 |
I drew in the 'ribbed' lines and coloured them in a diagonal pattern.
 |
28 |
I continued with the design, removing 2 of the colours but keeping the same diagonal design pattern.
 |

I then removed all the colours and some of the lines.

I decided it was time to move on!

Another piece of barkcloth with a geometric pattern, much more my thing!

I adapted the pattern to fit on a teabag.

This example is made from packing paper, black tissue paper and thick threads with 4 cream picot columns.

Taking the design a stage further.
 |

Adding colour, using egg tempura - more practice needed!
 |
42 |
Using crumpled glossy magazine as a background, I tore the paper into strips and applied it to the brown paper background. I stitched the design from 41 over the picture and painted it with Brusho inks with egg tempura.
