Image 2 – A close of up one of my favourite papers:
Image 3 – I tried doing two mono prints over each other:
Image 4 – I rather like these mono prints on book pages:
Unfortunately I couldn’t do these on an A4 pages as the glass pane I usually use for this kind of thing seems to have vanished. Where to is anyone’s guess but I was keen to get cracking so I used the nearest biggest picture frame I could find (which happened to be, um, small.
Moving on to the spiral sheets.
Image 5 – I found cutting spirals from card very therapeutic!:
Image 6 – Individual spirals cut out of card and grouped together. I deliberately used red on pink because it’s one of my favourite things!:
Image 7 – The first spiral sheet – basic spirals with some overlapping:
Image 8 - I particularly liked the negative space left by the spirals I’d cut out of red card (on the left):
Image 9 – A strip of paper wound around a pair of scissors and then squished:
Image 9 – A mix of spirals – I like the delicate spiral formed on the bottom left which is taken from a ceramic tile of a rose:
Next up were the fun 3d experiments.

I really enjoyed playing with the corrugated cardboard and I’d like to explore some more 3d spirals/swirls using inspiration from the chandelier images in my collection but I will come back to that perhaps when I’m doing my accessory later in the module.
