After my tutorial I've taken to the library to look at some books, and get some ideas in relation to patterns...

I've included these because I think it's a really unusual and interesting way to use pattern, and maybe this is something that I could use in my own work. I've been trying to come up with ways I could apply patterns that stray away from typical textile furnishings and accessories..this is an excellent idea, although I'm not yet sure how this would translate to my own work.

I love how this one all blends together so seamlessly, and I love that it's all watercolour...maybe I could have a go at making one like this? (Or are my computer generated images better???) I want to have a crack at making one of these, but I think I need to do more research into making repeat patterns first...
Another thing I really like about this one is the detail in the background, it gives such a good impression of the environment that the birds live in, and this is something that I have been struggling to think of how to do within my own patterns.

These ones by Mel Lim, I love all the spots and dots, and different textures, and the pattern just seems to have so many different layers to it! It works really well, I think thats what I need to work on more with my own patterns, is making them lots thicker, with more going on. I also like the use of the creatures silhouette.
What I also find really interesting with these patterns is how she takes part of it and applies to many other products (although I only managed to find a small selection here) this works really well, and links all of her work together. This is what I wanted with mine, if I were to produce lots of different outcomes.

I love the simple shapes in this one, I'm not too keen on all the bright colours; through my patterns i've been sticking to muted colour pallet of the colours of the bird, which I really like, but I jut love the really simple shapes of this one.

Solid shapes and lines..like this, could combine with dots and textures to create and really detailed pattern.

Animals using really simple shapes. This is something that I need to work on more with my own images, get down just how simple I am going to make things, Bruhn does this really well.
