For awhile now, I've been wanting to experiment with texture repeats like those done by
Daisy Janie. Finally, this weekend, while touching up some paint in the kitchen, I pulled out a can of paint dated 2005, which was suppose to be a mossy green. Low and behold, after so many years on the shelf the colors had separated out, and as I stirred the can, a beautiful swirl formed and within that my first texture repeat!
The original swirl
The finished product after 3 flips in photoshop.
(I really like the hearts that formed in the repeat.)
The next picture is just a shot I had to take today. After such a foggy, gloomy day, as soon as I got home, this was out my back door. The skies really rallied at the end!

That is awesome, Steph! I like your pattern better than all of those on her site. The color is so vibrant. You're quite the photoshop guru these days!
Thanks for trying out a texture repeat. Nothing to it!! And addictive. I used to paint for a living - so I've seen many cans of old paint like this! What a great image to use!!!!
To Sara - thanks for taking a peek at my texture repeats (it was very nice of Steph to reference my idea & website). As a textile designer by trade, it's nothing more than a fun exercise in exploring arrangement possibities. Creative experimentation are vital to my career. It's never about the color play or vibrance - but simply how something can be manipulated, which in turn sparks 20 other ideas...sort of like brainstorming. Try it out!!
