Found Patterns – Annie

Panel with the five poisonous creatures – Ming Dynasty, China, Silk in patterned simple gauze

For the patterned cloth, I chose this one from the Ming Dynasty in China. I found this one interesting since it seemed very delicate and the patterns almost seemed floral until you look in closer. Then you’ll notice the snakes, scorpions, and other poisonous creatures on the pattern. The deception in it really interested me.

Featherlight

I picked this contemporary repeat pattern since I really like feathers. I also found finding the repeat very difficult since it crosses over itself a lot, but eventually doable.
