Photo Challenge-Pattern

 Hi everyone.  Today's challenge is Pattern.  Showing a photo that illustrates the use of pattern.  I always associate pattern with repetition, although you could have a pattern that has no repetition.
Anyway, what I liked about this pattern is how many different patterns I see in it.  Depending on how much and what I have been drinking,(kidding) I see it as an arangement of chevrons, diamonds, rectangles is you squint and I even see lines depending on what angle I look at it.  It must be interesting to design patterns. (oh, and now the photo is blown up, I see it needs vaccuming.)
From this angle I see the stripe and I can make out the rectangles......are you with me? 
In design class we studied the use of pattern in keeping a space dynamic. 
I am so not a pattern girl.  This is about it in my house.  The rug and the kitty pillow.  
From a distance, it does read as a neutral. 
Next week, I thought it would be fun to photograph something handcrafted.
A painting, a necklace, pottery.  Anything showing the use of a hand.
HANDCRAFTED.
The idea is to make this a photography challenge and not just a show and tell, so try an find an interesting angle, lighting or way to capture the essence of handicraft.

  4. Love your choice of pattern! The rug is great. I like how from a distance the rug is considered a neutral, but up close it has so much going on. Very cool!

  5. Great benefit this rug is hiding if it needs to be 'vaccumed' ) Will make me go look for one of those.
    You tea mug goes well with the carpet and the kitty pillow too.
