Two Words, Day Two

I took my “fork” artwork from yesterday and played with the tines:

I am thinking that the stripe fabric I bought is influencing my design ideas or it’s the photos of that damned steel border wall. And, that is not making me joyous. I do like the idea of simple rectangles in a row.

Two Words Design, Day One

My husband gave me this birthday card. On the inside, it says, “Fork Yeah!”

I created this design. It’s my first design for the Two Colors, Two Words Challenge:

I liked the “fork” more than I like the “cake” artwork. It feels like they don’t go together. I could see the “cake” artwork as multiples — a grid of cakes. I like the “fork” more, so I think I’m going to explore the “fork” artwork instead.

Two Colors, Two Words Challenge

My Quilt Guild, the Central Virginia Modern Quilt Guild, is hosting a quilt challenge for 2019.

At the meeting, each member wrote words on two separate pieces of paper.  We then picked two fabric scraps from a tin can and two words from a bag.

I got Completion and Eudiamonia and two shades of gray.  Eudiamonia means happiness or joy or living your best life or flourishing.

I bought some solid grays (Peppered Cottons Fog and Charcoal) and a stripe with grays and orange/purple (Robert Kaufman, Figment Smoke)

I want to create a design in Adobe Illustrator. I want to make a design a day for a week and see what develops. I want the design to reflect simplicity or minimalism as living my best life. Stay tuned!
