Sampling in my sketchbook

I'm a bit of our sync with the blog and forgot to put in this sampling that I did a couple of weeks ago.

Using the colours from the photographs I created random samples.   However following my visit to Paul Smith yesterday, he inspired me to think different about looking at things.  My idea as you can see here was to try to recreate the photograph in fabric however Paul shared with us and showed us some of his patterns and what inspired them.   They basically took something from the colour or the shape so rather than me trying to recreate the building, I will try to create something inspired by the boldness of the red against the white and the blue.

From this photograph I did some sketches in my
 book an knitted up a small piece
of garter stitch using a blue/white striped cotton



I pinned my photographs of Borth onto my wall at College for inspiration and then started to pin up fabrics in colours that are in the photographs
