Life Patterns

Life Patterns

These two spreads were created in the latter two weeks of August 2020.  The left hand panel is a long view of life patterns and the panel on the right is patterns I am changing. 

 

I drew on some familiar elements: gears, clocks, flowers, bubbles and a compass. Although I have a pattern of over-scheduling myself and sometimes “going on automatic” mostly I meander through life going with the flow, led by intuition and finding some bright lenses that help me see things with new clarity and optimism.

In terms of change, I hope to increase the “blooming” and decrease the automaticity and scheduling.

Worker Bee

Thinking in the month of August 2020 about patterns. I tend to be a workaholic, get stuck in a rut and also typecast as a “worker bee” by others. Seeing the need to break out of this pattern despite the positive side of this.

Spiral

Spiral

The prompt this week was to pick the first shape that came into our heads. I chose a spiral and creating it in water I dropped Lindy’s magical pigment powder into the water. Then I used markers and pens to doodle intuitively on the shape.
