VonTannin Report post Posted January 17, 2014 So I got it in my head a couple weeks ago that I want to "master" western floral / Sheridan style. Here's my first real attempt at an original pattern for a woman's headband. Critiquing is welcome. I have already noticed some areas I can redo. The red is just to help separate background from foreground. Drawn first in my sketchbook, then doubled and reversed on tracing paper to make the final pattern.

WyomingSlick Report post Posted January 18, 2014 1. Much more open background than is usually seen in Sheridan work. 2. Need to tie big flower in better. Lack of cotinuity in flow there. 3. Need more uniformity in size of leafs. Goes from coarse to fine, and then back to coarse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I understand what you are meaning with the "coarse to fine and back to coarse" on the leaves though? I'm redrawing this pattern as we speak, but your input is still appreciated!

Bob Blea Report post Posted May 7, 2014 Just curious how the redrawing worked out, and also what kind of headband did this turn out to be? Is it something she would wear in her hair like a barrette? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't find the finished drawing on my phone, but I did find these three I had antiqued. This was before I learned a really neat trick from a Japanese guy for antiquing that has really taken my antiquing to the next level. But at least you can see the finished pattern in the photo haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VonTannin Report post Posted May 8, 2014 Like a standard headband/hair barrette I like your Sheridan pendants btw. Pretty sweet idea! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
