During these two weeks I was on Easter Half term. I knew what I wanted to produce throughout these two weeks so that I was comfortable for when I got back to college and to begin my tracing design.

Today I decided to complete my second visual sheet. There are certain areas of this sheet-work that I like more than others; for example I prefer the center purple section and the bottom right green section to the other areas. Yes I do wish I had spent more time on and put more effort into these other areas; however I am happy that another sheet is completed for this project.

I made a positive start to my first development sheet. This first development sheet is a development from my Honeybee visual sheet. I completed the full design and began adding colour (gouache). I have decided to use the same colour palette to the relating visual sheet. The areas I decided to develop was the layout, the Honeybee sizes and the hexagon sizes.

I made the finishing touches to my first development sheet. I am again pleased with this sheet, the main area I like and am happy with the most is how I have laid out the larger hexagons. The only thing I wish I had done different is a change in colours for the smaller background hexagons, but overall I can see a development which is what I wanted. Below is an image of my completed development sheet. I decided to leave the center hexagon blank with no colour around the bee because this highlights the 'QUEEN' Honeybee surrounded by her workers. Overall I am pleased with this and I am happy to have it present my work.

After completing the sheet-work I wanted to do, I decided to carry out some techniques. I have already carried out needle felting so I decided to do some wet felting. Wet felting is not my favourite technique to carry out however I want to touch upon as many techniques throughout this project as possible. Eventually I would like to print my design on to my wet felted pieces and frame them for my exhibition alongside my main final piece and other techniques I have used.
Below is an image of the wool/felt fibres I used. I stuck to oranges as a base to link with my relating sheet-work and so my design stand out when printed in dark colours.
This next image is of the technique being carried out.
Finally, this image shows my final wet felted piece, I made sure I created it on a larger scale so that I have plenty of space to print onto. Obviously felt fibres shrink went being wet felted, so it is important to stretch them out in-between rolls.
