This wall paper did not turn out how I originally intended it to. I had imagined making a sort of night sky mural but along the way I had gotten distracted by drawing many circles as apposed to a few to make stars. Spiraling off of that I eventually morphed what was a moon shape into the weird squiggly shape and built off of it from there. Although it didn’t turn out how I had originally intended, I very much like how the pattern turned out and I find it very  visually interesting and now reminds me slightly of candy stripes
