PATTERN PLAY: Patterned Upholstery I found an abandoned chair in my neighborhood. I have a practice of printing my work onto digital transfers which I iron onto wood and other surfaces, so I tried it out on the chair. Success! Later, I found another chair exactly like this one on a different street. I hope to find them often, but not too often so it's creepy.
TYPE & IMAGE: Travel Tales Part of an Imaginary Bookcover Series, this one featured sea travel. Fun fact: I scanned a wig I own and maniuplated it to use it for the ocean water. However, I'm terrified of sailing! It wigs me out...

PATTERN PLAY: Fiesta Black & White Once I get a sketch gouping I like, I explore color and design options, and teach this in my Surface Sing workshops. This sketch became the basis for the Fiesta Pattern Collection, and a black and white version was used fo the patterned chair.
