Frost on the car windshield in the morning. Just used my old iPhone for this pic. I was late for work and didn't have time to get my camera to take a good shot.
This is my second pattern that I deconstructed. It is from the Print & Pattern Book 1 from Beth Gunell.
When I started to count the amount of colours, the different motifs and the small details, I discovered the intricity of the design and how it did work. In this design the amount of different colours is just amazing, though the pattern itself seems to be 'pink' at first sight.
I really loved doing this exercise. It opened my eyes and gave me good ideas of how I could expand the possibility of my own motifs.
This exercise might also be a good warmup if you get stuck somewhere in designing patterns. Not to copy these designs, but really seeing how another designer made a pattern work.

We’re obsessed with patterns, it’s a work in progress .
Estamos obsesionados con los patrones repetitivos, es un proyecto en proceso.
Internal note-
The leaf pattern of the lancets was altered to fit a mistake in the window frames.
The huge steel frames were supposed to be built after the glass was designed, but one day on the site we found them laying off to the side, already built to a standard window specification.
The image in this photo has been squeezed down in Photoshop to show how the leaf pattern was supposed to look. The leaves here are the same length all around and fall into a circle, as do the leaves in the facade.
As fabricated, they fall into a vertical oval that was stretched by others to accommodate the error by the builders.
- [ continue on the fact that the window frames were welded with arbitrary horizontal window dividers before the stained glass was designed. I wanted them to remove them and put in horizontals that fit the design. Instead, only the spaces for the major medalions were changed. The rest of the horizontals were left in place and the design of the leaf pattern was stretched to fit. This struck me as chintzy- but typical, that saving money on welding time would outweigh the design of the glass.

Flickr note-
If you want to see alot of my finished work, it does not work to just type don art (without quotation marks) into the Search window. You get too many extra pages, that way.
But, "don art" (with the quotes) does work.
