Before I started my Self Directed Project it had been suggesting in one of my tutorials that i perhaps look at pattern design, as it had been effective in my previous work.
Though I had not pursued it for my project, it got me thinking about pattern design, and I began to realise that I do very much like decorative patterns. I decided I would experiment with some henna, and created some freehand patterns upon my skin. I love henna, to me its like temporary art work, much how I see tattoos but obviously that's permanent.
I'm wondering now if maybe patterns are something I should pursue, as I've come to realise, when I doodle, the majority of those doodles are patterns or motifs that could be repeated to make a pattern.
