This week went very quickly in the studio. Still working out the design process on some new forms and the patterns to go on the pieces that I started last week.  My process for this is I keep a sketchbook of ideas, patterns, notes to myself etc…   When I have the idea firmed up,  I work out the scale  and how the pattern will be incorporated.   I will then create templates using Sure Cuts A Lot software. Available from surecutsalot.com  

This software helps you create  a 2 dimensional template that you can use as a template for hand building or texture additions etc.  When I’m satisfied with the design I cut the template out in vinyl with a KNK Zing cutter.  Available at knkusa.com  Then I start the production process.  Over the years this process has been tweaked many times in many different ways.  If you have any ideas to share on your designing process use the contact page and I will add any helpful suggestions for our readers.

Thanks for stopping by and see you at the next post.
