When I'm in the Project Doldrums...

... my normal go-to is gel printing.  However, after finishing the Stab-Me Binding from the last post, I've spent the week taking photos of my work and honing my design sense.  I've always really liked abstract art, but doing it is a great deal more difficult than it looks, and part of my issue is design.

So I've taken photographs of part of my artwork, cropped and corrected them for colour and light, and then done the same again.  



It's interesting that nearly every segment could be cropped more than once to create something that is pleasing to the eye.



The cropping can make a tremendous difference to the orientation of the piece as well.



And each segment of a piece can be a work of art on its own.



Really, apart from the issues of pixilation, the possibilities are endless.



Here's my question for you this week - what do you do (and how) to hone your own sense of design?  It's a life-long study for me, and I'm hoping you can help!
