My brain is beginning to tire from doing non stop uni work so I decided to take a break and learn how to make a repeat pattern! I followed this really easy guide by Kristyna Baczynski who came and gave us a lecture about her work a couple weeks back:
I turned the grid on so it divides it equally into four
Turned the snap to guide on and I selected each corner and moved it to the opposite diagonal corner
then filled in the gap with more hearts!
Voila!
Tried it out on twitter and it works! yay! Although, there are still some imperfections as you can see on the bottom left where there is a white line going through the hearts. This is probably because when I moved this corner of the pattern, I didn't meet the guides and document edges perfectly - I kind of rushed it a little bit because I was excited to get it done and see the result. Next time I need to take more care when doing this bit for that seamless appearance. Though on the more positive side, I have really enjoyed learning how to do this and quite excited to employ this into future work! maybe make some patterned fabric (which my mum really wants me to do, so she can make it into things) or wrapping paper, the list could go on! How exciting!
