repeat pattern

Repeat patterns trying out different brushes and ink-to-water ratio. India ink on yellow cardstock.

Quick pattern made with white ink on black paper. It reminds me of the texture of a feather

Hello All, Hope everyone is keeping well......I started another ' Lockdown' doodle this week. Working on Mixed Media paper with Pen & Ink and Aqua spectrum Noir pens. The Spectrum pens are really chunky and take a while to get used to handling , but they are very useful for colour blocking larger areas and the colours are intense. I've been using these all year now and love them. The Flamingo Garden Doodle , I turned into a repeat pattern for my collection of Printed Ladies accessories for my new website which I'm working hard on and hoping to Launch very soon. :-)

Part of a repeat pattern I am working on

Hand drawn repeat pattern design, I used ink and then pencil crayon on top. The idea was to create a realistic scene of what life was like for me in the 80's - as opposed to cutesy images of children playing with puppies etc.

That time when I ran out of ideas for this prompt word ‘pattern’ GoT-related and came up with what you see here! Maybe I will turn these animals plus dragon into a repeat pattern one day!

Using diluted black India ink and a brush.

These patterns are all made from drawings pulled from my 2017 sketchbook project. I studied fiber arts in grad school and learned how to do repeat patterns - the old fashioned way by cutting and taping paper together... I haven't done any in 25 years - until this month!
