motifs, and refined motifs

as promised: motifs!
first drafts, and then some refined,
as well as thumbnails.

(thank you studio
for getting a new scanner
we quite needed it!)
























































































































































































































after class critique,
thoughts from classmates and jamie,
a few revisions:






















to cradle the sprout,
flip the spade print on its end.
safe and less lonely.





















same delicate sprig:
sprouting from the soul of earth?
earth is too weighty.























small to big and dense,
swirling, but not too heavy.
infinity gourds!























many hundred gourds,
connected, not math'matic.
much more organic.





















oh the single vine
it needs love and character
curly and not sparse.

jamie liked them all!
today's one-on-one, she 'yay'ed!
now, split directions.

arrange six motifs,
permutations, sets of three...
we'll see which one works.

  1. It's good that you are posting process WHILE the project evolves (rather than saving it all to the end). This not only saves you time in the end (b/c you already have the post made), but also is a way to interject "reflection" INTO your project development.
