WPW 6 –
Cherry time – le temps des cerises.
Hi! Welcome to my post for Weekly Pattern Wednesday, being run by Lynn over at Smudged Textiles Studio.
Salut! Voici mon post pour Weekly Pattern Wednesday, qui a été créé par Lynn de Smudged Textiles Studio.
I always have loads of
ideas buzzing round my head and so had already planned my pattern for this
week, but the cherry tree in our garden is looking so amazing at the moment I
just had to use that as inspiration.
J’ai toujours des
centaines d’idées qui font le tour de ma tête donc j’avais déjà commencé mon
motif pour cette semaine, mais le cerisier dans notre jardin est tellement beau
en ce moment, que je ne pourrais pas l’ignorer.
I love our cherry tree
– the blossom in spring is so beautiful, especially when the sky is blue. This year it was particularly fabulous and it
is now laden with cherries as a result.
I’m sure, as usual, that the birds will take most of them, but I’m quite
happy to look out and watch them too – we get such a variety of species coming to
visit, including a wood pecker and a red squirrel.
So for my pattern…
Alors, Mon motif…
I started by drawing
the cherries – using three colours, as they aren’t quite ripe yet. I decided to concentrate on just three,
intertwined branches, as the whole tree would have been too busy.
I then, as often happens,
was overcome with doubt – should I add the leaves? Should I colour the
cherries, colour the leaves? In order to cover all eventualities, I drew each
part of the design as a separate image (using my very hi-tech ‘drawing on the
window’ light box technique!). That way
I could either use them separate, or build them into a combined image later,
phew!
Et puis, comme ça m’arrive
souvent, j’ai un une crise de confiance.
Fallait-il dessiner les feuilles aussi ? Et colorer les cerises ?
Et les feuilles ? Pour garder la plus d’options possible, j’ai fait un
dessin pour chaque partie (en utilisant la fenêtre en tant que table lumineuse !)
Comme ça, je pourrais les utiliser séparément ou pour faire une seule image. Ouf !
So here they are –
cherry outlines Donc les-voilà – les cerises
cherry infill – les cerises colorés
leaf outlines – les feuilles
leaf infill – les feuilles
colorées
…and finally the
combined image. …et puis l’image combinée.
Which I then worked up
into a repeat.
Pour terminer j’ai répété
le motif pour en faire plus compliqué.
I love cherries J J’adore les cerise J
