Sketch for Floral Pattern

This is the finalised sketch for my floral pattern. I made sure that the patterns repeats itself seamlessly in both directions. The next stage is the most challenging and also the most fun because I have to find a good balance with shapes, lines and colours. There are so many possibilities! I am considering a similar colour scheme to the Spring fabric I mentioned in one of my previous posts.
I want this design to be part of a collection just as you would within a professional environment.

Body Drawing with Henna

 

This is my second go at Henna drawing my Hands. The top picture shows the paste still on the skin and the second picture is the final result. I left the paste on my skin throughout the night to obtain a stronger colour. The quality of the henna paste was very good and it also smelt nice because of the eucalyptus oil mixed in it.

I've been looking at lots of designs in books and on line and I would like to design my next fabric inspired by these beautiful curls and waves. I would like to obtain a floral design that can celebrate this ancient tradition.

Sprigs 1888

 

Sprigs are small single flowers. This design was made in France in 1888 on wool mousseline fabric.

It is very delicate and I particularly like the choice in colours. I would probably like to use a similar colour scheme on the design I'm working on at the moment- HennaFlowers
