Such a busy week...my brain is running at a hundred miles an hour..I'm bursting with creative ideas!
My shed is getting full with projects but I just haven't had time to do any of them yet...
I have been working with the lovely What Katie Did Next and SewSister which would inspire anyone, they are lovely ladies! And are both currently working on various new products...all gorgeous and very exciting!! Plus I've been brainstorming with Sewsister to create a unique exhibition stand for a big trade show in January :)

Ok, back to the course blogging.....bit of a weird one we had to create a colour wheel, bog standard stuff, well if you know it anyway! The class weren't sure and I ended up explaining to them as it turned out the tutor has never done one???? impressed? not much...although it was rather lovely when a couple of them said I would be a brilliant teacher hehe
A colour wheel helps us to understand the use of colour within painting, art, design and fashion.
Three primary colours..Red, Blue and Yellow from which you can make any other colour (secondary and tertiary)
Black and White are used for tone,black to darken and white to lighten. Then you have greyscale white at one end and black at the other and all the tones of grey in the middle.
My homework this week was to create a moodboard for Lady Gaga, which has been great fun I ordered a sample of glittery wallpaper..sooooo nice ..pity it's £55 a metre eek!

Apparently the French painter Paul Gauguin is the source for this saying. Rumour has it that admirers loved his painting but had trouble pronouncing his name. So they shortened their admiration to saying that they were just "GAGA" Others claim that's nonsense and that the word comes from the French origin for "Fool" and so the word represents the sounds a mindless person makes.
