Texture that gives Illusion of being Textile....

I had to use Photoshop to create texture's.  This was rather fun.  The first was splattered paint brush tool.  The second is a picture of a wave that I have duplicated several times.  The third one is flames.  I created two layers and smudged them.  The last was stars.  I made all different sizes and 'free transformed' them and just kept repeating and repeating.  I really liked this exercise.

Best yet...

My teacher notated that the designs should not be even, balanced, formal...they should be dynamic, uneven, imbalanced, offset, thrusting.  I believe I gave her what she asked for...Isn't this awesome?  This is what i love doing...abstract..

Principles of Contrast

This was rather interesting.  The creating contrast between antonyms was rather interesting...

Symmetry

This is a composition utilizing strict formal, radial, or crystallographic symmetry.

(Of course I picked the ladybugs due to Alanna be infatuated with them.)
