I'm doing Melanie Testa's "inspired to quilt, video prompt challenges' and this is my first step in creating personal marks, probably to create stamps. I traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico in 2004 and kept a journal of notes, drawings and photos of fabulous trip. I went back to that journal for inspiration and was drawn to all the patterns in the folk art, plants, tools, and architecture. I created these designs from those images.
