Pattern 72

Sunday, April 26, 2015
My next pattern combines one of my half drop patterns and one of my kaleidoscope based patterns.  If you are new to my blog, I am creating all of my patterns in Photoshop Elements version 10.  Here are the steps to creating this pattern.

Step 1 - Create a new two inch by two inch file.

Step 2 - Select the Paint Bucket tool and with the Pattern box checked in the Options Bar.  I selected my Pattern #38 to fill in the space.  See the pattern from my blog post on February 20, 2015.  My first image below shows this step.

Step 3 - Use the Paint Bucket tool again to fill in the remaining area with my Pattern #1 from my blog post on January 7.  You can see the result of this pattern fill in my second image below.

Step 4 - If you want you can play with the colors a bit.  Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Adjust Hue/Saturation.  See my third image below.

Step 5 - Now Select -> All, and Edit -> Define Pattern from Selection.

Step 6 - The fourth image below shows the pattern filled into an eight inch square.
