When she returned to colour, she began by limiting the hue as she had done in her pointillist experiments. Only later did her use of colour become higher key. Once she had decided on her desired pattern, she embarked on full size mock-ups sticking, grouping and re-sticking strips of paper to a canvas, testing combinations of pattern, repetition and colour to find the most desired visual effect. As her work became more complex, with many shapes and colours, her method changed to piecing the rough designs together like a jigsaw on a large table, where trial and error lead her to her final decision on how to construct her next painting.
