Timorous Beasties


Timorous Beasties work, often used for wallpaper or fabric covers, is usually a repeated pattern. These two examples are two of my favourites as I think the composition of the example on the left is particularly successful. The small white areas around each of the illustrations means there is a good balance between pink and white so the piece remains quite light but with sections of strong colour. I also like the colours in the piece on the right as I think the green is quite an unusual shade which is complimented by the white. Because there are just two main colours, it means it would be effective in the home because if there were too many colours, it would be harder to match with other furniture. In addition, I like the way from further away it looks like an abstract pattern and although you can tell it's a repeated pattern it doesn't look too regimented or harsh and when you come closer, you see all the details in the illustrations and different shades in the background.
