\"Layout<\/a>

Layout Trial<\/p><\/div>\n

Once I’d finished the View of the Excavation, I thought it would be a good idea to see whether the whole Dreams of Amarna<\/a> project was even remotely on the right track, so I got some mount board cut, and taped the Map and the Excavation around their boards, the two Crests around theirs, and then cut some of the pale turquoise linen for the rectangles around the edge. Then I burrowed into my box of the finished patches and bits – including a couple of yards of kumihimo braid and some beading – and started trying to arrange them to see whether it was going to work.<\/p>\n

Panel One<\/p><\/div>\n

I think it may be working!\u00a0 The colour blocks work beautifully, although the arrangement of the patches I arrived at for the picture above is better than the one in these.<\/p>\n

I need to find somewhere else to use the purple-blue of the shadow on the Crock of Gold patch, and the dark fabric behind the Faience Hippotamus.<\/p>\n

The Kumihimo braid was intended\u00a0 to frame the Crest for the Dig panels, but I think it works better in the second panel when I used it to edge the Excavation. So I guess I have to braid some more!<\/p>\n

Panel Two<\/p><\/div>\n

I do think I need to put some texture in to the background of the Excavation. It will help to balance the texture in the Map, and it will create a bit more variation in colour.<\/p>\n

Loading the Felucca looks good, and makes a great punctuation mark. The Daisy Beads – well, that’s not the final arrangement – I just need to work out what will be.<\/p>\n

And I need to go back to my notebook of ideas, and pick some more patches to do.<\/p>\n

However, I do think it is going to look good.<\/p>\n

Eventually!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
