Mapping of O and G

The 0 and G shapes in a design

One of the most interesting things to work around with any motif picked to worked with is the possibilities one can create with it. The design repeats, colors, treatment given and well pretty much anything can alter something we start with. One of my favorite part while creating  a design is trying to work out a possible repeat and to see what becomes of the design when at it. I don't think that I can possibly pick out my favorite repeat pattern, some designs look best in half drops, some straight repeats, mirrored seems to be extremely famous these days, sometimes when creating repeat patterns we end up getting some negative spaces which end up making the design much more interesting. The negative forms are generally in a shape of 0 and G, we call it an O  and G repeat. This is one of my design that I drew on paper and then converted in to a pdf. I am going to add the original design and then add the design repeats along with it.

It may seem repetitive to most of my blog readers but once I guess more than once in a Blue Moon  I try creating a design by merging various motifs, repeats and pictures of my work  in to one canvas. I am a traditionalist at heart and I like to portray work of the era's of the 19th century, when the times and lives were much simpler I have converted this particular design in to a digital print fit for any apparel. This Design is mapped with different repeat patterns too. Hope you enjoy them.
