Drawing Blind

Vera finished her "drawing blind" fused piece. She made two of them, in monochromatic colors, yellow and rust. As people finish their's I'll post them here. Amy finished her's in lime greens. Peggy's is in orange and black, with the Oriental butterfly fabric she got at Greenbaum's in Salem. The turquoise one is Pat's with a Jinny Beyer medallion print in the center. Jana also did a bright green.

Kay's Drawing Project

At the March meeting Kay presented a quick drawing project, please take the time to do this yourself. We will bring in the finished fused 8 1/2" x 11" pieces at the April meeting. "DRAWING BLIND"
1. Take a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of paper
2. Close your eyes, and draw a zigzag line across the paper.
3. Keep your eyes closed! Pick up your pencil point and rotate the paper, any amount, now draw a wavy line across the paper.
4. Eyes still closed, rotate paper again, and draw a scalloped line.
5. OK open you eyes, finish the lines to the edge of the paper, choose one of the lines and repeat the line about a 1/4" away, so you have a double line.
6. Make a small X on one corner of your paper.
7. Position the X towards the center of a 8 1/2" x 11" paper. Trace or copy in some way the lines onto a 1/4 of the large paper. Flip and rotate the smaller paper, keeping the X towards the center, and copy your lines, until all 4 quadrants are drawn in.
8. Use this pattern to make a quick fused color study, in a monochromatic theme.
Bring the fabric piece to the next meeting, Kay would like to show them at various senior centers.
