Click on the link below and type in a new search. There's a half-n-half chance you'll find some cool stuff.
With how beautiful, distinctive, and inspired these old patterns and graphic images are, why do contemporary patterns look like this?
One of my hobbies is making patterns. Maybe I'll post a couple sometime? I bought two books over the Summer that teach more on the basis of design. I've been meaning to try making a diamond or ogee based pattern instead of my usual square. We'll see!
