I'm enjoying my new markers and this design uses shades from the blue collection. This design is more free-form than the other design plans I use (geometrikon, colorform, mathematical forms) and is friendly to the scanner because it is a rectangular shape. It is inspired by printed textile designs which a friend of mine is working with. The textiles are made for quilters and they are like a painter's palette made with cloth. I have designed quilts in the past and wouldn't mind designing more but I don't have the sewing skills to actually make one.

I made a picture of something I called a Dire Quilt. I took a lot of those warning symbols, showing hands under acid, falling figures, and so on, and arranged them radially inside squares, then used paint-bucket patterns to fill in the designs and the background. Finally I water-colored the design in different colors giving a patchwork appearance. It looks very pretty at a distance, then you get up close and see these hands getting mashed in machinery and explosions and things. I was proud of it; wish I'd scanned a copy before I gave it away.
