Galia Gluckman is an artist who makes large-scale collages out of tiny bits of coloured paper.

Everyday Objects Tell My Story Quilt.
Passports.
Jane LaFazio is a textile artist who works in mixed materials.
Her sketch books are as exciting as her textiles work and above is a very small example.
The top picture shows how Jane has devised an interesting way to divide up a sketchbook page and then using the squares she has drawn in parts of objects she uses in her studio.
This arrangement of drawings/textiles creates an orderly composition.

Mandy Pattullo.Textile Artist.
Mandy Pattullo.
Mandy Pattullo is a textiles artist.
These pictures show part of a collection of garments she has made by recycling and manipulating fragments of old textiles and quilts, making old garments more precious.
She uses lots of hand embellishment, appliqué and patchwork
as well as paper ephemera and layering of techniques including printmaking.
Mandy tries to source vintage fabrics and quilts in her work, preferring to use old fabrics that have a history.
The results are beautiful and detailed pieces with a rich history and slightly disorderly and unconventional look.

Lisa Milroy. Painter.
Lisa Milroy
Some of her most well known paintings are those where she has organized everyday objects into orderly compositions and then painted them using oil on canvas.
This painting by Lisa Milroy is entitled Food and Veg.
Here she has arranged the objects in an orderly fashion
to create pattern.
This is one in a series of paintings she did looking at shoes.
It is Shoes painted in 1987.
She has arranged a wide variety of shoes into neat rows to paint them....if only my shoe collection looked as orderly.
And finally Stamps painted in 1987.
Though the stamps are different sizes she has once again arranged them into lines.
As a contrast this painting is called Garbage and shows the opposite order and pattern from the ones above...
is it therefore more Disorder?

Alice Pattullo. Printmaker
Alice Pattullo
Alice is an illustrator and printmaker based in East London.
She graduated in 2010 with a First Class Honours in Illustration from Brighton University.
She graduated in 2010 with a First Class Honours in Illustration from Brighton University.
Her work is predominantly in screen print.
I really like the way she has ordered the objects in each of the compositions creating a pattern.
The objects themselves are really quite ordinary but the rhythm of each print is created by the way she has organized and in some case repeated the shapes.
Therefore fitting into Order and/or Disorder.

![The Set of 5 together :]
I’m going to attempt a scene next week with street lamps, trees and other things!
I also have plans to get all christmasy with making things.
I still think it’s way to early to be getting festive but I was in Tesco yesterday and a man had bought 6 boxes of mince pies like they were going out of season or something are any of you in the Christmas spirit, or are you feeling all bah humbug until December?](http://24.media.tumblr.com/b092696ef8fc1bec3a4c717c2cc058df/tumblr_mucteqbSUG1qhn0rjo1_500.jpg)
