REALISATION: Blog entry 30

Background patterns

I intend to use these patterns as I have in previous experiments, behind my main sparrows pattern (e.g Blog entry 22). 

Everything I produce for my outcome will be linked by one main pattern (which I have yet to make/decided on) but the individual things will also differ slightly by use of these background patterns. I intend to use the sparrows in flight on the things such as feeders and food, the flowers on plant seed packets, and the insect in the things that will provide homes for and help draw more insects into the garden.

Invertebrates - Background pattern

This use of silhouette is something that I have been working with, and experimenting with since early last semester (examples below)

REALISATION: Blog entry 23

Today I started playing with ideas for a pattern to go on seed packets...after a little bit of research to what flowers would be good to use, I decided on a mix of wild flowers (good for attracting a wide range of insects etc.) I was just messing around with this, but i'm not keen on it. I need to spend more time, and think about how I'm going to do this more...this just looks messy, although might work as a background pattern for something else maybe??
