Selecting from a pocket full of feathers I chose three different ones to scan. Changing the scanning settings meant I could refine the areas that were captured so that a reasonable amount of detail was kept, without the image being unnecessarily complicated.
To create the pattern I used the three feathers repeated horizontally. Rather than simply repeat it vertically I flipped the next row, making the curved central feather curve in alternating directions. This set of two lines are then duplicated vertically. From a distance this gives the impression of flowing curved vertical waves.
For my pattern designs I use a catalogue of numbered, standard colours. There are currently 65x colours to choose from – for example – 100 is white and 101 is black. Developing Design D, I could change the colour of the feathers and the background. A safe combination would be to use the same colour for the feather as used on the background. Some are shown above.
With so many colour combinations it would be impractical to show all of them. Here I have chosen a selection of combinations that I feel are interesting.
