Project 5: Wallpaper

My original idea for this project was to make a fabric pattern using florals (groundbreaking, I know!). For inspiration, I began by looking at prints from Lilly Pulitzer and Andy Warhol’s floral pop art.  However, as I began playing around with the code, the simple flower I started out with turned into an abstract “centerpiece” surrounded by ellipses that made rectangles around the sides. I ended up with a completely different deliverable, as you can see below.
