Study: a start in another book

I have also started in another marketing book. This one is by Kari Chapin.
A lot of it is already familiar to me, but I am looking for the tips to improve my business.


So, in chapter 14 the subject is: having a production plan. While most of my products are original artworks, a production plan does not seem possible. But Kari also speaks of processes and there are a lot of practical tips, so I am reading on...

Paper play 12: stripes

Small strips of paper glued together, then cut apart and glued another time.

In between: a Summer drawing

There are so many icecreams to choose from...
I drew a lot of them together,

each one with her own style and materials.

Paper play no. 8 cutting shapes

Starting with a square piece of paper,
and then sort of pulling it apart by cutting shapes.

Paper play no. 6 Letters

I do not think I am going to make and alphabet, 
but the letter B has nice varieties:

Paper play no. 5 Letters

Something different: collecting types of letters and cutting your own shapes.
Letters are always an inspiration. I am using old magazines
for this. You can have so much fun with those magazines, and it is low budget art making.

Paper play no. 4

I think I really like this colour combination, it has something light and airy,
thinking of water and beaches.
I therefore left the composition quite simple.

Paper play no. 1

For the summer I wanted to have a small project with paper.
I have always loved the possibilities and unpredictability of paper,
so I am playing around with it. I' ll show you some of the results the coming days.

The first one, paper and pen:
