Cut and Mirror

I created a floral painting (featured below) and went onto cut and mirror it to form a new design.

 I went onto create two new motifs using this mirroring technique. After selecting one of the designs, I then went onto use an ink and wash technique to print a repeat pattern of the flower in symmetrical lines.

Next i added to the pattern by painting various sections. I think this technique of cut and mirror worked very well. It just shows you can create some very interesting designs from one image. 

I could see this pattern having the potential to be used as wallpaper.

I have went onto use this technique in other projects and a very promising result has occurred every time.
