Inspiration Wednesday


Ok, you might think this is a hideous and weird looking carpet. The colors are fairly….interesting. What I like about this carpet is that:

  1. there is a strong layering effect.
  2. It reminds me of the Gabrielle Swain class I took from EBHQ last year.
  3. It gives me great ideas about layering fabrics to make a piece, and
  4. It reminds me of some of the exercises we did in the Pamela Allen class.

This not a direct A to B kind of inspiration. It is a true inspiration where I see something and it inspires me to create something.

The first thing I want to do is draw this leaf in grey and black so I can see what I am dealing with. I’ll let you know how it goes.

    I can see where the design of this carpet would be inspiring. I love the scalloped shapes of the leaves, and I like the way the color was used. The layering adds a sense of movement.

    I want to do a drawing of this carpet in black and white just to see what the difference would be. I wish I knew the manufacturer.
