Actually I can't really call this 'design' - more sketching - with plastic. These are more little tokens from my dad's travels - vintage seventies cocktail stirrers - from all the hotels he visited - and all the drinks he had! The plastic hearts are another trinket from another trip. Just playing with these as starting points for ideas...
2nd March. Thinking about polypropylene. A simple one today - but I have been thinking about the properties of semi-transparent polypropylene - you get a nice layering effect and it works better in simple colours. Computer based illustration. :-)
March 1st. Well you have to start somewhere, and here's where I started. Two roosters :-) I am thinking about little European souvenrs at the moment - my dad used to bring them back from his travels. I can't find my original Portuguese rooster, so I have made some new ones. Cut paper.
In March 2011 I'll be spending my days going on a different journey - creating one design each day and uploading it to this blog and my own website. I need to broaden my horizons and play around with new ideas and ways of working. I can't say yet what the work will be like (because I don't know) so come back and take a look if it takes your fancy :-)
So I am... spent the weekend at West Dean College in Chichester learning more about plastic and the joys of trying to work with it... here's the venue and my beloved workbench!
Well I have always had my general website www.sarahgreen.me but now you can view the most recent collections and buy online on folksy.com. This is great news as it means everyone can see my most recent work...
