Next, I arrange these sketches to create the repeat pattern focusing on visual weight and scale.

For this project my focus was to create a pattern that was difficult to track the repeat.

Here is where I bring back the mood board and reduce colors. I like to keep my prints between 2-5 colors to abide by industry standards.

Next, I create coordinating patterns based on the the the principal repeat. Bringing elements of the motif out and emphasizing them.

Lastly, I like to play around with different colorways to see how it can change a collection.

Sometimes I think the most satisfying part of creating art is having a physical product at the end of a lot of tedious work.

Here are these patterns, woven on a jacquard loom.
