INT 150 COLOR & DESIGN

This is a custom rug that I designed a few semesters ago in
INT 150 COLOR & DESIGN.
It is done in water color on vellum and the paper crinkles a bit when attached to the matt board. I pulled it out for some kind of inspiration for my current project in
CUSTOM DESIGN INT 175. Strange thing, I did not need it for inspiration!

Custom Design


Tonight was first class of INT175 Custom Design. First off, it is a miserable rainy day and to say the campus was soggy is an understatement. My cute polka dot umbrella just about took me straight up like Mary Poppins and I was soaked when I made it to class. The class began like most with the obligatory reading of the syllabus by the instructor and the personal introduction of each student. I don't care for the intros as just about everyone knows one another and if you don't, you will very quickly while working on projects and comparing test grades,etc.

First project is a custom designed rug. This should be fun. My first inclination, per the instructions, is to select a beach house that I will then design a rug for a specific room. As the design is developing I plan to post my process. For now, the following are inspiration for sure!
Stay tuned.............
