Today I have spent most of my day working on this pattern, with golden orioles all over it. I wanted to use this example of more how I can mix in more information about the bird (although this particular species may have been a poor choice in hindsight) but you get the gist...I have used both the male and female variations of the bird, and the branches it sits upon are those of the tree where it's favourite berries grow. The also eat insects, but I was unsure how/whether to include this (??).

[As you can see here, it doesn't quite seamlessly repeat yet, but it's getting there! - I'll talk about this a little more in a moment]

| Experimentation with pattern - Holes! |
As this image shows, although this attempt at a repeating pattern was more successful, I still have noticeable holes! It is only my second attempt using this method, but I wanted to have at least one nicely done example before I hand my work in. sadly though, this has taken me the best part of a day, and it is no where near as nicely polished as I would like it to be...
I may just have a to accept that I haven't got time to be able to nail this technique before assessment..which is pretty pants.
HOWEVER! It does work, I just need to work on it and get better at it; my second attempt is already lots better than my first, I don't think it will take that long for me to get the hang of it.
It does work, it just needs lots more experimentation and polishing, which I will have time for in the next module, I just haven't had time for it in this module because I've been too busy pulling my hair out figuring out what I'm actually going to do.
