ReplyDeleteI´m pretty new to pattern making - but love it and I´am still looking for the perfect "Beginners guide to" - or "How to make a repeat pattern" - so if you have any book tips please let me know.
hi sidsel,
ReplyDeletefor info on how to make repeats you could try pattern design by lewis.f.day published by dover.
hey, im moving to london in september to do a fine art degree and would love to find out where the best pattern/design book shops are to have a gander at. ive just purchased 'Patterns' and 'Image makers, Image Takers' from Amazon, and through that found this site and the book 'The Cutting Edge of Wallpaper' id love to look at it for myself, not on the web, do you know where i could find it?
ReplyDeleteany help would be great, thanks!
