Somehow I worked out this repeat, put it on a block and printed it without posting about the design process. I actually tried out a couple of different repeats before I decided on this one, which is two different five spot repeats layered over each other. These spot repeats are a good way of creating a scattered pattern which has some structure and looks neat. It's also much easier to put this together first than trying to measure it on the fabric or do it by eye.
With the block I considered carving out the white space but decided it was better to go for the negative which I think works nicely and still retains most of the detail in those fine lines. I wasn't sure what colour to go with but I had this green already and it seemed fitting.
My first attempt at this print wasn't actually that successful as I attempted to line it up by eye from memory, which isn't that easy without practice. Once I'd worked out a guide for myself it was much simpler and this second attempt was much better.
For now I've just printed some fabric for tea towels but I'll consider other options in the future as I think the print is pretty effective, especially for a design which was fairly quick to work out and put together.
