I'm finally getting around to adding some of the things I have done at college from a while ago.
This is what I didn't when we were making repeating patterns. We had to draw something we could see, so I drew the design on my bag. We also had to draw something else, so I drew a rose.
I quite enjoyed doing this exercise and I did a few others, including this one.

I just did some quick and quite scrawly bats and swirls. It was kind of inspired by Edward Gorey. 

You can't see that it's a repeating pattern hear as I haven't got around to duplicating it to show how it would look.
