Pattern making again!


After doing some machine embroidery of pansies (previous post), I decided to make it into a pattern to put into my sketchbook.

I scanned one in, selected it using the Magic Wand, and transferred it into an A4 size piece, which I then duplicated and put in the right place. I converted the first 3 of the pansy motifs into a 'Smart Object' to make it easier to place the others. I also made some smaller to fit into the gaps, again converting to a 'Smart Object' to make it easier. And tah-dah! One pattern finished! 


The first photo is the original, the second is a simple invert (with tiny alterations using levels and curves), and the final photo is invert with hue alterations.
