Continuing with the argyle theme, I made this repeating textile design. The idea started as “Plumbers Plaid” because I imagined pipes that wove together when they intersected. When I got down to drawing it, the task became more involved than I first thought it would. Mostly because I wanted up to 4 colors of “pipes” to weave together and not repeat more than once in the tile. I really loved the rough line quality of my digital charcoal so I ran with it, then used some bright candy colors to contrast. At the end of the day, it wasn’t “Plumbers Plaid” anymore, it was “Woven Jelly.”
