February 2010 Sketch

By Janine Rachau.

What inspires you? I LOVE to look at what other crafters are creating and can literally lose hours on the computer hopping around checking out so many wonderful different styles and techniques. Later, I cannot believe how much time has passed. But, when it comes to creating my own projects, I try to rely on other inspirations so that my work does not end up as a carbon copy of someone else’s. Some of the things that inspire me are decorating arrangements, beautiful landscapes and for a quick and simple idea, I go to graphic design. This can include magazine and online ads, catalog pages and any other pages of publication. That is what I did for this month’s sketch. I used a magazine advertisement.

JanineS! here and delighted to show you my first computer generated sketch. It is rather unpolished and in need of some refinement, I’m afraid. Here is the inspiration, the sketch, my interpretation, and those of two other Scraptiv!ty designers:
