At the very begining I transformed a “tree of life” tile design non repeat pattern) into a full drop repeat pattern
Then I intended to use the same pattern swatch structure to create an other pattern design. I wanted to create one more bushy motif with branches rather than thin flowers. I thought it would be a way to make an other pattern following the same tracks of a previous one. As a matter of fact I encountered lots of unexpected difficulties on the way: It was not that easy to make it even with the imbricated leaves and fruits. I might as well have started it from scratch. Eventually it worked out so all is well ! 🙂 .
I guess i learned a lesson : the structure of the repeat is one thing but the style of the flowers and leave make the identity and fluidity of the pattern even more strongly. It was not a short cut at all
Here is the timelapse process
