Reference an expert...ERIC BROUG

Research said Eric Brough is the go too expert of Moroccan/Islamic Geometric Design. You Tube has been very useful but they go so quickly I thought a couple of good books would be useful. 

These 2 easy to use, great starter books arrived next day from Amazon. 

Having so much fun. Creating the geometric patterns from scratch is so very distracting from any pain i'm feeling in my hands. I was totally zoned out and lost in the world of geometry yesterday, it's so very relaxing to do. And colouring in is a great relaxer in the middle of the night when you cant sleep.

From what he says in his books i've jumped right in with a more difficult pattern first, instead of starting with a simple one. So back to basics with a repeated pattern next I think. 

Not worked with pencil crayons much for a long time so I'm love getting the perfect finish with coloured pencils and they says its supposed to be very relaxing, colouring. It seemed to work. I dropped right off to sleep again after and hour or so's colouring in the middle of the night.

 New tiny box of water colours to try next and a repeated design instead of just a single shape.

All the designs in Eric's books are listed with a date and where they can actually be seen, one day maybe i might get to see some of them in the place of origin.

A ROVING RED SKY AND A WORK OF ART!!

As you know l'm moving house (positive thinking here for a quick sale!!!!) so every day l do a bit of sorting and boxing and as all you crafters out there know there will be loadsa boxes that say 'CRAFTROOM' hehehe

I'm discovering lots of yummy things l hadn't exactly forgotten about but had bought to have a play with and something else distracted me!!..bet you can all relate to that one lol

WELL.....

I'm planning on having a roving bubble bath of fun with this little lot......what a good idea might even do it in the bath..kill two birds with one stone hey!! hehe

Naturals and yummy brights.....pebbles and beads maybe?

The sky this morning was very red..oh dear what is on its way?

Love this 'WORK OF ART'......could see this on the wall as useful art!

Pencils and wall holders from the THE SOCIAL DESIGNER......fabulous ways of displaying your coloured pencils that look like works of art or you can buy the 500 pencils in every conceivable colour....love that
