This work was done by me for a textile course. Despite being an illustration and VC student, I had this sudden urge to do something new and I signed up for a textile repeat course. Which did eventually tell me a few things about myself, I really enjoyed working with patterns and had immediately started to inculcate textures and patterns into my illsutration style.
I looked at this challenge as an experiment. Summer was the paradigm for the final creation. When I think of summers, I am always reminded of the sunny day and the flowery bloom that surrounds me. There is something visually overpowering about the flowers that bloom in the summer. My mum bought me a Crysnthemum one summer, my first plant. A plant I was to take care of. This memory had always been engraved in my mind since I was a child, and led me to choose the Crysanthemum as my inspiration.

Iteration for the same pattern but in winter tones, making it possible to use it even as a winter pattern.
Using the second motif I created another set of patterns: (images below)
This pattern took a different direction for me, and it made me feel like I was trying to adapt a more earthy feel.
