This week I continued to do more work on the sketches of the sheep dog in
stalking mode. I find it quite therapeutic to draw of an evening and with
persistence eventually an image started to emerge. This spurred me on to making
a working pattern. The first two sketches are worked with the mosaic shading I
like to do and it was this style that I was definitely going to do when I got
to my playroom.
You can see from the pattern below that I started to make mosaic shading
marks but once I started to work with fabric, I went in another direction
entirely! This sequence of pictures illustrates the creative progress that I
made.

Once the image was complete, I then overlaid the fabric with voiles to
give more depth to the colour.
Once it was complete, I showed it to Himself who immediately said that the
dog looked too heavy for a working collie! And once I stepped away from my work
to look at it objectively, I saw straight away that he was right! And so I
embarked on some selective redesigning, cutting, repositioning and tweeking
until I was happier with the over-all shape. And don’t ask what I am going to
do with it because I don’t know just yet!
