The two photo's on this page were taken on the same day on a weekend holiday at the beach. I used bright, happy colours on these photo's and used a paintbrush to make swirly lines. I decided to be spontaneous and remember how I was feeling at that particular time and let the paintbrush describe my emotions through the patterns I created. I used purple on the photo on the right because it's a colour people associate with luxury and riches. I used it because the picture shows a lot of tickets you get in arcades which you can trade in for prizes and me and my friend who won these felt rich because we were able to trade them in for a lot of prizes. I used the orange in  bold stripes on the picture on the left to bring attention to the name 'Jodz' and painted the number 4 bigger and outlined it as I was 4th on the leader board and I was proud so this represents the big achievement it was for me personally. The sample I made trapped one of the tickets we had won. I chose black material and I think that worked very well being as the ticket was yellow and bright and you could still see through the fabric. I used yellow and orange thread because those colours and the way I stitched them reminded me of the arcades and the flashing orange and yellow lights there. I am please with this particular piece and page.
