Let me just say that Photoshop's Warp Tool was my friend on this one.
The sketch required extensive surgery.
More pop contrast in some than I realized.
Back to the "drawing board"!
I also decided that I wanted to incorporate my "woven paper" technique that I've been doing as a dailyweave series (instagram link) for the background of the repeat. Using the upper left colorway, I printed solid squares of the four colors, then did my weaving process:
Until I tried to get it into repeat in Photoshop:

| This is the point when I gave up. I had been wrestling with it for about 25 minutes. |
Next.
I replicated the pattern in Illustrator, as a regular grid. Not as "lively", but MUCH easier to work with.
Good thing it's Saturday. If it were a work day, I'd be seriously late!
[I wish. In reality, I have to do my homework grading for Monday's class. Sigh.]
What fantastic shoes, I love them

Thanks Debbie! Will have to catch up on your A-Z posts soon -- very behind!
DeleteIt's a large repeat as shown in version one. As in "a really really big and erratic pain" repeat. But at some point it lines up on a vertical and a horizontal and can get weird in the middle.
ReplyDeleteI just wish Fluevogs fit my feets better. (sad sad girl)
In a way, I'm relieved that the Fluvogs have their weird fit issues. Cuts down on the temptation! I'm still getting the eBay alerts for my size Fluevog listings. After my debauchery last month (2 pairs eBay) I'm maintaining self control.
DeleteThe repeat "weird in the middle" is the cross where I moved the edges into the center in Photoshop > Filter > Offset. I do like the shadowing bit.
Wow beautiful shoes! Love the purple and violet ones ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I'll be doing that colorway soon!
DeleteLove the shoes. I would totally buy a pair or two. The colours are great too. Visiting from the #A2Z Challenge Road Trip. Linda x

Hi Linda! If only they weren't so expensive! Sigh.
