I managed to get slightly carried away with my doodle (see previous post) ... I decided to use it in one of the exercises for my excellent e-course, The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design ... but ended up only completing part of the exercise as I got distracted playing with the various combinations that I could create from this particular pattern. So I'll post this here now and carry on experimenting and will come up with the rest of it later.

What do you think? This is all pretty new to me so I hope you'll bear with me if things aren't quite right or I make mistakes along the way ... I'm learning to pick myself up, dust the ongoing errors off and prepare myself for more of them! Cheers.
