Pattern Landscape


It’s been 10 days for my last post and I was thinking on what could be my next one. Last night I just thought of combining few patterns into a landscape. Many a times, patterns without the contextual use are boring. I am still contemplating whether this combination is interesting enough?! Too many leaves... you would say?? Foliage enjoys the privilege of being the oldest and never-dying motif in textiles and pattern making. Foliage is important and it is equally important to see what variety is offered in each pattern design.


Patterns worked for Tracon espl.
