Short sleeve view; fabric is a fine gauge sweater knit, purchased from a mail - order vendor about 5 years ago that is *almost* too bulky for the pattern.
Looking down at the patterns in the floor of the glasshouse area from the balcony of the museum, The patterns caught my eye.
The two criteria for my pattern that I chose were repetition and consistency. My inspiration for this image came from the drawings of leaves, grass, and pine needles that I drew a couple days before.
I think it is important to take a closer look at the world because there is so much that is smaller than us that we ignore. We forget that even the smallest leaf is very complex. I think the biggest challenge for me was making a shape that could have a fill out of many paths. I spent a lot of time experimenting to find out the best way to accomplish this and I still think there are better ways out there. It was easy to draw the outlines of the objects that I used in this pattern and too turn it into a repeating pattern.
I shortened the hem to above the knee and took the cherry applique from a "rockabilly" sweatshop top that was falling apart. Recycle, ladies! :)
While planning for a paper doll workshop I'm going to teach, I played with cutting and tearing scrap paper to arrive at some paper doll pattern variations. I want students to realize that they can make their own patterns with minimal effort. After getting a pleasing shape, the next step would be for them to trace the shapes on patterned paper. (Actually, I like to trace the pattern on frosted stencil plastic first, cut it out, and then trace onto patterned paper.)
