Liquefy and Crop

Are you playing along with me?  If so, you’ve printed out the liquefied image from the previous post and you’ve found some small compositions within it.

I found ten, but I’m only showing you four of them.

Again, any one of them would be a great start to an abstract quilt.  What did you find?

Later, I wanted to select one or two of my compositions for the next stage of experimenting.  The first thing I did was to turn them all upside down.  That gave me a new perspective.

I chose two and cropped them SOME MORE!  Maybe you can find their points of origin in the images above.

Finally, I began to play with the image above and to turn it into a viable sketch.

Maybe this?

Or, with slightly altered colors:

Hmm, yes.  I think that’s a good starting point.  As with Brainstorm, I won’t try to perfectly replicate the sketch.  I’ll use it as reference to get me started, but then – once again – take plenty of detours.  I’m already thinking I’ll add a little yellow.  We’ll see.
