Patterns

I have always had a love and fascination for patterns and textures. My art major work in yr 12 was based on a colourful swirling watercolour design/pattern. I love the graphic vector patterns I encounter as a graphic designer. That's were my love of ties and wallpaper comes from. I especially love retro patterns, paisley, hippy, henna designs, rainbow etc. Anything bright!

Glass Box Guy

Mark Lewanski, or The Glass Box Guy, is an artist from the USA who uses stained glass as his medium. Initially making glass boxes he has now ventured into mosaic mirrors and other funky glass and mosaic based designs, including quirky furniture items.

He strived to undo everything he knew about the art of stained glass, discarding the traditional soldered appearance of Tiffany styled lamps and windows and opting instead to use modern adhesives to give his work a clean, contemporary appearance.

I love the simplicity of the De Stijl movement. I want to make this dress and paint some shoes like this. And this cute temporary tissue paper and tape is inspiration to a great stained glass window/door.
