SYMMETRICAL SHAPES:
I really enjoyed these exercises. I think it is because I really like the high contrast using black and white, they seem spare and elegant. I know I once cut out lots of pictures from home magazines to figure out what kind of colour schemes I like for a living room and I always went for light and pale coloured rooms but they always had a punch of something dramatic, either black or very bright cushions or some high contrast focal point. I !could have gone on cutting these shapes for ever!
For all these exercises I basically used three different designs, the usual cross design from a Ukranian embroidery in Winnipeg, a portion of that design that I had previously used as a stamp and another fairly simple cross design taken from a headstone in the Banff townsite cemetery.
