My Creative Workbook

Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman

It’s one and a half to two times... but to the side

Aaah… those good old design rules.

All our directives to construct

… artistic prescriptions

stipulation to make

guidelines to hatch

the totally unbreakable, totally bendable laws to create.

Note: this week I show you the Tutorial for the wire leaf shown in my book on page 14 (Hint: ... if you want a sneak peek you can page through that section for free on Amazon)

And in my Newsletter I am curious to hear your opinion on rules in trendy designs. I am a huge fan of rules, as a rule. So much so that there is an entire chapter on rules in my book in which I show you how I make sure what I am following is actually a rule (and not just a trend or a personal preference) and how I judge whether I still need to follow it… or when I am better off disregarding it. (Chapter: Testing the Rules page 267)
