The inspiration for Sample #3 was a parrot. All my early inspiration comes from some external source and eventually morphs into something that has my fingerprint on it.
Things we will learn:
- Using Fibonacci yet another way. I have taken the numbers 2,3,5,8 and 13 and added a zero to each one ei. 2=20, 3=30, 5=50, 8=80, 13=130. The graphic grows systematically.
- the power of a line
- the idea of same/same. You have two ways to make your warp with the same colours - you get to pick, either way is equally beautiful.
- colour gradation plus another element with strong contrast.
- clasped weft technique
