This evening I have been thinking more about the Learning Objectives for this unit, and the idea of experimentation. Throughout my project thus far there has been this re-occurence of a swirling circular foxglove pattern- from my initial expressive drawings up to my floral research. I was thinking about ways that I could continue to re-create this pattern, and one thing that I have never done is played with inks and bleach before.
It seemed pretty simple- layer of ink, draw with bleach.... The results proved opposite. I admit, I was pleased with some of the outcomes, mostly the ones that I used an old pen lid to draw the bleach on with, however it concludes that the two materials have minds of their own- creating individual patterns and splodges in places they were not wanted.... but it's experimenting, so that's ok.
