I love being creative and sometimes I simply go over the top. This project you are about to see is only about patterns. The initial task was to create a gift packaging featuring a pattern inspired by object in The British Museum collection. I was walking around thinking about what can be used as a base for my pattern. I was lucky in North American Gallery – room 26 featuring pottery from a culture called Sky City. The featured image is actually the jar I took the inspiration from.

The initial drawing can be seen too. I used simple method to trace it in Adobe Illustrator. I then opened this in Adobe Photoshop and used the define pattern options and there it was.
