Pyrex and pasta...

For the bolt fabric assignment we had to take inspiration from pyrex dishes and pasta... it was quite fun as pyrex and pasta were not things I had ever really drawn from before and their shapes were really great to work with.

After doing lots of dish and pasta drawings I decided to use a different technique for image making and did some shape drawing on the computer and then put them together to make the pyrex dishes and bowels.  The pasta was done on the computer using the freehand brush tool and the little fern fronds were hand drawn with coloured pencil and scanned into the computer.

The salt and pepper shakers and colander were a happy accident, I made the shapes and then accidentally used the eraser tool and made holes in the shape... I thought this would look quite effective with a few layers underneath to show the difference in the light salt and dark pepper.
