More Repeat Ideas

I recently came across a beautiful little swatch of fabric in my archives. It stood out to me as another interesting approach to filling space with a repeat that I figured you guys would appreciate. I can't seem to find any information about it, but I went ahead and took a guess at a repeat in Illustrator for demonstration purposes.
At its core, its just one simple leaf shape overlapped over and over again in two colors. It makes a beautiful spread, and planning something like this out would be easy on or off a computer. Plan out a shape, cut a couple of them out of paper, and move them around to make something lovely.Often with silkscreen, its very tempting to try and slap black outlines on the edges of everything. One of the things about this print that I love so much is the unexpected way the heavier lines work. The choice to let the veins of the leaves end at the tips of the leaf, rather than include an outline, encourages the wonderful play of positive and negative space.

Keep your eyes open for other inspiring prints, new and old. You never know what will spark a new idea!
