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.
