Exciting at any level, but more so because I had just the right amount of direction to adhere to, yet was allowed ample artistic license to rouse the Muse.
The recipient is partial to the ghostly and ghoulish, and specifically asked if I could include Jack Skellington, a pumpkin and bats. With this brief, I decided I would begin with a concept sketch to get a feel for the elements, shapes and proportions.
Once I was satisfied with the sketch, I worked on the dimensions for the bookmark, and which parts of my sketch I would use. The fabric I chose is a white cotton handloom, soft with a slightly rustic look. As my sheets of white carbon were AWOL as usual, I just roughly traced the pattern through the fabric, using ::sigh:: my 0.2 rotring nib.
