{PATTERNS CATALOGUES}

Taking things apart into their basic forms is a great way to reach new results in putting them back together. I am interested in portraying landscapes of places i perhaps may never go. Building pictionaries helps with practice in seeing things as parts. The fun is trying to see what repetition goes on around you, and examining it as a single unit. The units are then conjoined and become a series. This allows your hand and eye to speak fluently the language of pictorial representation.

{EGRETS} are endangered species

EGRETGARLAND4

Egrets are a type of Heron. They were hunted mainly in the time when millinery demanded long beautiful feathers for fancy plumed hats. Egrets feathers are exquisite, long and delicate during the mating season so that they can be identified by mates.

"these lines were scrawled on receipts while cleaning apartments for board during college. after a lunchsack full of dead batteries my headphones broke and i took this word game to pass time. the rules are that, of course, all preliminary letters of each word are the same, that meaning is present, and that no words can be repeated".

{MYtinerary} news

This is the practice template for the day pages of MyTINERARY 3rd ED. that is still in the works. In the mean time there is MYtinerary 2nd Edition still available for the new year! SHOP PENNY SPENCER

RITEoakGBW

I am experimenting with digital coloring and using drawings as objects that can become patterns. The page structure is set up as a central focal area with bordered areas filled thematically. The object is to create backdrop for planning.

Some news for MYtinerary: I am planning on making quarter sheets, and printing the covers professionally so they can be uv coated for extra sturdiness.

There are nature themes that move through in a seasonal fashion for each week, although they will still be fill-in-your-own dates so that they can also be academic too.
