Week 74: Adobe Illustrator

Birch 1 © Karen Thiessen 2013

Birch 1 is for my late brother. On his birthday I picked a few leaves from the weeping birch that shades his grave. I love the negative spaces. This week I played with my "leaves of significance" collection in Adobe Illustrator. There'll be more leaf patterns to come in the next few weeks. 

I confess that I've been rather lazy in my AI practice. Although I've continued to practice, it hasn't been rigorous enough to advance my skills. Right now I'm in a curiosity rut: I'm creating designs to suit my current passions instead of moving through the book.
