If an ouchflower was a real flower I think it would look like this!
A while back I did a course on screen printing at Harvest Workroom in Brunswick, if your a Melbournite then this is a place for you to learn new things!
I created this tea towel design on the spot, occasionally not all idea's must be developed, sometimes they just are?
Don't tell any of my students I said that, their months of developmental work would be undermined totally!
So as you know I have been very busy polishing up my Photoshop skills and I had been wanting to take my original tea towel design and create a digital illustration of it ....so Ta Da!
Believe me when I say that it has taken months and many attempts to try to do this......most attempts ending in explicit language and glasses of wine.
Then yesterday the penny dropped, the layers I created worked and this was done in a couple of hours, like magic!
This means that yet again I will be changing the look of the blog to incorporate this image in!
YEAH more Photoshop! (I'm addicted)
I'm sharing over here today @ My Creative Space!
Ohhh your ouchflower design is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say dear Pippa, I think you need to get busy stocking that little ouchflower shop of yours...I reckon you'd get lots of customers (just sayin)
ReplyDeletetotally gorgeous! i particularly love the`sunburst bit towards the middle. the mix of colours is lovely x
ReplyDeleteOh it is soooo beautiful! I'm going through a yellow stage and I just love love love that!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great design. You are very clever - inspiring stuff!
ReplyDeleteHuge thanks and Smiles to you lovely ladies for popping by and Kylie I think your right and I'm on it too.....really :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! My word! You are the Photoshop guru. I really love this new design. Such pretty colours.x
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous design! I love the multi-color one and can't wait to see how you use it on the blog, but I love the yellow one equally. It is so amazingly bright and cheery.
ReplyDeleteI really like both designs! The colours are gorgeous in the second one, but it works well in just simple yellow too. Just discovered your blog and I really like it :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a possibility of me moving from London to Melbourne in the future, and as a textile design student I am trying to teach myself all about designers and design in Melbourne so that I'm not clueless when I arrive!

Loving your creativity! About Photoshop...are you using it with a Mac, and are you self-taught? My husband mentioned that PS can be costly to buy for home use; did you find this to be the case?
ReplyDeleteHi Aussiebushgirl I do work on a Mac at home, but PC at work! PS is expensive! I'm self taught, you learn something new every time you use it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by :)
