Salam & greetings to all.

In my last n3 about the subject as mentioned above, there are 6 elements which we need to take into consideration in designing. The 6 elements are:

1. Color

2. Line

3. Shape

4. Scale

5. Space Texture

6. Value

Do have a visit back on the previous post – Beads Embroidery: How To Design to refresh on the topic.

Before we see some of the sketches being done by my self (as promise), lets see the sketches done by Madihah – my beloved daughter.

Is it what the malay always said – “manakah kuah kalau tidak tumpah ke nasi?” She did it without my guidance. Just another hand free sketches! My self also impressed with her.

The sketches is a motif. Motif is one of the option being used as a reference by some craftsman/women, artists on some bead work and design matters. As for your info, there are five (5) category of motif:

1. Floral

2. Paisley

3. Geometrics

4. Conventionals

5. Folk Design

So, to appreciate her effort and to encourage her more, i decided to use the above sketches in one of my beadwork. Will keep u update once its being done. As for the category of motif, we discuss further on next n3.

Later.
