function drawIt(a,b) {
	push();
	translate(a,b);
	//colors it pink
	fill(251,156,180);
	for (var x = 0; x < 8; x+= 1) {
		//draws ellipses while constantly scaling and translating
		translate(x+1,5);
		scale(0.45,-0.7);

}

I wanted to see if I can create unique patterns just by drawing one ellipse, so I messed around with using for loops on scale and translate and came across very unique patterns. First it came out as a thin feather and when I input a negative value in the scale in came out with a very unique and deformed sort of pattern. I thought that it looked a lot like an icecream so I incorporated other elements to make it look more alike and added more patterns to make the wallpaper interesting. Below are other iterations of this project that I’ve made but didn’t feel like elaborating on.

I thought that it was very interesting how just making minor tweaks in the iteration can change the picture as a whole. I thought that this project helped me learn more about calling functions in functions.
