My Last Three Assignments for The Year

Collage Board

Drawing Board



Digital Board



These are my last three mood boards for school this year.  Yippee - time for a break!  The assignment was to represent an interiors scheme through three different types of mood boards, collage, drawing and digital.  My inspiration for the scheme was the peacock feathers which feature in the colour scheme with the gorgeous blues and greens and through the repeated circular shapes in the sunburst mirror and side table detail.  The accent colours are gold and orange which lend a formality and some glamour to the scheme.  This was my first attempt at drawing and I've always said I'm not a natural drawer, but I did have lots of fun giving it a go.  My next subject is drawing and I'm looking forward to learning how to sketch a scheme - watch this space!

My friend Kylie from school recently commented that she thought that blue was my colour and I must say that I had not really thought about it as I love all colours but upon reflection of the items that I have chosen in my house, yes, it does seem that blue is my hue!  Maybe it's my Piscean nature or just the calming effect that I get from blue, I can't deny that I am drawn to it. At the moment, I'm loving peacock blue and gold together (really anything with gold is making my heart beat a little faster these days).  Blue is very versatile and you can team it with white for a nautical look, tone it down with browns, greys and mauves or contrast it with pops of gold, silver, pink, orange or yellow.
