Day 6 of a pattern a day (my 100day challenge)

Day 6 of a pattern a day (my 100day challenge)

Another drawn pattern for day 6 of my 100 day challenge today over at the 100daysproject. Do head over there and look at the various projects (just click the looking glass icon to see the projects).

My challenge is PAD- a pattern a day. My aim is to spend time every day on a creative project involving creating or using a pattern. I am also using this as a chance to get started on instagram elaine_achelois. At the moment I feel a bit lost with how it works so any help is welcome.

Today my pattern is based on eyes- it took me about 2 hours to finish the pattern in the initial shape. I used my Sakura Micron pens for the drawing. I used CraftArtist 2 Professionalto copy and tesselate the shapes and add the backgound I made a couple of days ago (tinted black).

Day 5 of my Pattern A Day 100 day challenge

I’ve made a pattern with ink today for the fifth day of my 100 day challenge today over at the 100daysproject. There are lots of interesting projects to see over there (use the search icon to find them) You can find out more about my individual challenge on my day 1 post here.

I started with Sheena Douglass Stamping Cardand brushed Spun Sugar Distress ink around the edges.

I used my pink ZIG Art and Graphic Twin Watercolour pen on my mat with some water spritzed on it and then brushed it across the card to give a stripy watercolour effect.

I had cut a chevron stencil from sticky vinyl and stuck the waste this card to make the zig zag pattern. I then sponged Picked Raspberry distress ink on the top left and bottom right and brushed Dusty Concord distress ink
and Peacock Feathers distress inkacross.

I then used the same distress inks with a grungy flower stamp (free with a magazine and I don’t know the manufacturer) to create an additional layer of pattern.

Day 4 of A Pattern A Day (my 100 day challenge)

The fourth day of my 100 day challenge today over at the 100daysproject. You can find out more about my individual challenge on my day 1 post here.

Today I’m having a high pain low energy day so I decided to take a quick photo of the pattern made within an allium seed head in my garden. It makes me think of a sunburst. I added my usual copright using CraftArtist 2 Professional.

The third day of my 100 day challenge today over at the 100daysproject. It is inspiring seeing all the different creative projects people are doing so do go and look. You can find out more about my individual challenge on my day 1 post here.

Today I tried something quite different for me. Although I do quite a lot of hybrid crafting and mixed media I rarely focus on digital art. Icreated the various digital components, including the background and then manipulated, arranged and coloured them using CraftArtist 2 Professional. I also added my usual copyright information etc.

My 100 day challenge- Pattern A Day 2

My 100 day challenge- Pattern A Day 2

The second day of my 100 day challenge today over at the 100daysproject. There are lots of interesting projects over there. Find out more about my individual challenge on my day 1 post here.

Today I drew some patterns that I will be using in my colouring calendar I sell. I start by drawing the outlines- leaves today. Then I study the subject- in this case it was easy as I have lots of different types of leaf in my garden.

Pattern a day leaves

I design patterns based on the patterns I can see in the subject.

I used my Sakura Micron pensfor the drawing (there are various nib sizes allowing a range of fine lines and they are archival quality).

It takes me a couple of hours to complete three leaves due to the detail. The artwork for the calendar is completely hand drawn so each month takes a few days. For the sake of this challenge I’ve taken a photo of the leaves I completed today and then manipulated them digitally using CraftArtist 2 Professional to produce a complete project. I also added my usual copyright information etc.
