Not only are pineapples one of my favourite fruits, the surface of a pineapple is one of my favourite textural patterns (apart from tree bark, obviously!)
I love the repetition of the spiky pattern that sprirals around the chunky form.
I went through a stage of producing different surface design ideas based on the pineapple,
and produced these vibrant screen prints with machine stitching on fabric as the outcome. I really enjoyed the project, and its interesting to see how a few mixed-media drawings developed into a pair of colourful hanging prints.
Hope you like them.
They are lovely Charlotte, I have a thing about tree bark and cabbage texture!
I see what you mean about the texture – never thought about it before, but it is lovely! Your hanging prints are gorgeous. x
love these pictures, making me want to dig out a sketchbook!
