today is a difficult book to show - simply because every single page is filled with such lovely designs and prints it was tricky to know which ones to pick! I think most people will be familiar with Angie Lewin's work so I have chosen to showcase some other areas of the book rather than the final pieces...
Angie Lewin - Plants and Places
the book is splits into 5 main areas: Coast, woodland and Hedgerow, River and Loch, Meadow and Garden, and Studio:
workings for 'Dandelion'
you can literally see how the designs start as painting and sketches and follow them right through to the final prints, as with the 'Salthouse' design below:
sketchbook and workings for 'Salthouse'
'The Church, Salthouse' initial sketches
'The Church, Salthouse' final design
the book holds a wealth of knowledge on Angie and her inspirations, her workings and methodology:
initial paintings - i wish i could paint like that! [sigh]
workings and final print of 'Winterspey'
in full working mode!
one of Angie's finalised linos for the design 'Spey Seedheads'
testing colours on Japanese paper
i love how the book shows everything about Angie's thinking - you can see dabs of colours for testing out palettes and combinations, little notes and scribbles...it's great to have a little insight into how her mind works!
'Clocks II'
'Alliums and Fennel', from start to finish
some examples of Angie's prints as repeats patterns
it can be bought from Amazon.co.uk for £17.50 or at Amazon.com for $29.85...enjoy!
