"Day by Day: Pieces of Life" from the Daily Color Series

Making color and design decisions is sometimes difficult so I challenge myself to use only one color from the color wheel each month during my daily design exercises. A box sits on my worktable containing all the supplies I collected at the beginning of the month in one color. From this I choose bits and pieces creating a 5" x 5" design/collage/drawing. The small format offers me the chance to explore a design and decide whether or not to enlarge it or expand on an idea. I also keep a journal for sketches, fabric swatches and working out future ideas and larger pieces. This process has evolved into a variety of forms as you can see on the left.
