Choosing an item, breaking it apart into shapes, looking briefly at how those shapes could exist and overlap. The more non-representational, the better.
Making patterns is easy so there isn't a whole lot to say. Placement is considered, as is colour. However I've began to notice that patterns with more simple, bold forms work best. Small, intricate pieces often detract from the whole thing.
I like the pattern on the right. The combination of the solid colour from the cut paper, and the wonky appearance of the painted circles contrasts nicely. In comparison, the example on the left now looks too controlled and thought-out.
I think I'll try to make arrangements that appear more sporadic and expressive...
Other things to think about: How can I vary the 'everyday object' theme? What other methods and media could I use?
