Oh the woes of a pattern that won’t repeat. I thought I’d put V.1 online though as I want to start showing more of my handrawn stuff on the website also, I’ve wanted to do some work with hot air balloons for a while but kept faffing about how to do it. I’ve learnt a few things, I drew my image on A4 paper, cut it in half both ways and stuck it back together again, then filled in the middle of the design. The theory is the repeats are then sorted out for you (if you’re accurate). I know now to do any cross hatching, BEFORE the image in split in half (duh) and also trying to accurately scan an image which must be A4 on an A4 maximum scanner is likely to be difficult, so maybe a smaller piece of paper would be better in the long run. I like the design so it’s on to V.2 today.
