A really stressful month and I had hoped that 2014 would be a turning point. I am ever hopeful but I am still being bombarded with one thing after another. I have found that working on my coursework has been quite relaxing and calming and here are some pictures of my very slow progress:

My first textiles tutor would never let us wash any unused paint down the sink. We had to always use it all up by painting pages in our sketchbooks for future use. It was a good tip, all sorts of interesting things have been developed from seemingly random daubs. I have kept up the habit and, as my last purchase of acrylic paints imported from the U.S. were extortionately expensive, I am more aware of the value of art materials and do not plan to waste any. Here are a few of the pages that I painted up today from the paint left on my palettes. Who knows what they will later become.
Colour work is not my favourite occupation so I'm going to skip the collaged colour wheel for now and go back to it at a later time.
