I worked my way through the Repertoire program over the last few months. There is so much content and so many new things to try. I have been focused on developing my flowers. I also took Lettering Bootcamp from MATS and I have been having fun trying out different lettering styles and ornamental shapes. I’ve also been working to make progress on my first hand drawn half-repeat continuous allover pattern, a bamboo forest to accompany my clouded leopards collection.
