December prints

 

A little pattern I made using photographs of quince cordial, quince jelly and colouring in the remaining ghost shadows left over when I was making lots of beads.

Above is a pattern I made using some slices of polymer clay cane that I made inspired by the colours of Audacity software which I have been spending a lot of time on lately.

 

Juicy Juicing

 
Cheers!

Cheers!

I do love making vegetable juice and beetroot is a mandatory addition to any juice I make. I do try to have a citrus-based juice in winter time to really boost my immune system. This juice and the patterns I also made from photographs of the beetroot, pink grapefruit, lemon, orange and lime. The sweetness of the beetroot balances the sharpness of the citrus fruits resulting in a tangy, refreshing juice.

Still Life with Pasta

Eggs is Eggs

Eggs is Eggs

Here is a still life print that I created from some of my prints and patterns as well as some photographs of mine which all together make up a collaged scene of a Still Life with Pasta. more patterns and prints that I made in week 9 of 2016 which are comprised of polymer clay cane segments which have been made and designed by myself. I then scan them and create a pattern and prints from the cane slices.

Beetroot Bunches

This little Beetroot Bunches pattern was made from photographs that I took of the cross section of a beetroot and of them in bunches...much like the title suggest. Beetroot are one of my favourite go to veg for juicing, roasting, in salads and in deserts. I love to hear the groans when I tell students that we will be making beetroot brownies; listening to the protestations of how much they are hated and eventually listening to the surprised exclamations of surprise that they are actually enjoying them in brownie form. They really do increase the moistness of cakes and brownies whilst providing healthy sugars. You can see my Beetroot Brownie recipe and post for more details.
