For my wallpaper project, I decided to created a pattern that alternated coffee mugs and coffee beans. I was inspired to create the mug pattern after seeing a wallpaper online. With the repeating pattern, I was interested in seeing how the mugs and coffee beans turned somewhat abstract over time. I originally did not intend to abstract the mugs, but I actually like how they look in the final result! I like the idea of someone looking twice at the wallpaper before realizing what the pattern is. Overall, this project was good practice for using nested for loops.
