This textile that I found from the Met museum collection has a repeating pattern of the fish and the waves. This is an 18th century textile of Chinese or Japanese culture. I chose this as my inspiration because I really enjoy the movement of the waves and the details on the fish. At the bottom there also appears to be an edge pattern that its pretty interesting.
This wallpaper designed by Dan Funderburgh was found on the Flavor Paper website. The design is an intricate mix of carnivorous plant and bats instead of robins and typical flowers. I really like that the designer changed the elements of a typical floral pattern to use unexpected elements that you wouldn’t really notice unless you were paying close attention.
