so, when i broke the two designs within M’s apart to create the mosaic you’ll notice that the red line hasn’t been changed much, while the multicolored design is very different.

here’s another look

so i finished the piece i was talking about doing at the end of the last post.  essentially the theory is to have the same design on two corners on opposite sides of a square, then have two different designs inhabiting the other two corners.  so, there are three different designs in one block. i’m totally thrilled with the results.

hope ya’ll like it

After the jump is this design in 4×4 so you can check out what it completely looks like. As a disclaimer, i just realized that i didn’t really optimize these (don’t know why cuz they’re flat colors, habit i suppose) so i apologize if you experience a slight loading lag

here’s a quick update i feel guilty for not posting. i got my fabric back from spoonflower, with the design from my last post, and i love it. next, i’m gonna upload the brown one, that’s above (but bigger) to spoonflower and see how it comes out.  Also i added a new tile pattern to you know, anyway on to my post…

So i’m walking down walnut with kathleen on saturday night, heading to continental for a quick bite before going out, and saw this amazingly tiled brownstone entrance way. It had a more challenging design, than what i put above, but they’re both based on the same theory. Plus, for a first attempt, i’m pretty happy with the results.

Essentially, i’m thinking of using the design on the left as a starting point, to try and recreate the type of patten that was on the foyer wall. First off, i need to design a tile with a center peice (haven’t figured out what that’s gonna be yet) that is integrated with the corners, which are quarters of three different designs. Two of the corners are identical while the other two aren’t, so when the tiles are put together the identical designs give the wall a diagonal flow.

i’m thinking the two identical quarters should be something that’s on the simpler side (don’t think i’m end up using the ones that are on the pic) because with the center and the other corners being a bit complex you’d have no tranquility on the wall.

the combo of drawings i put together, on the top, in my last post is called fishin’ heats. when i went to make the paper instead of using the repeat function like i had planned to i had it set to fold and was very happy with the outcome. it amazing how a slight pattern change really gives the same base two different feels. they’re after the jump…

this is the one that follows the patterns as they were made

this is one that got folded…
