Pattern 99

Thursday, July 2, 2015
I'm seeing that these plaid patterns can go on to infinity.  I'm having fun seeing how my different stripe patterns look after I turn them into plaids.  So far, I have taken a single stripe, copied the same stripe and rotated it to make my plaid.  So then I thought, what if I take two different stripe patterns and mix them to see what kind of plaid I can create.  Some of my combinations are turning out better than others, but this is kind of fun to do.

So here is my next plaid.  I used my Pattern 43 for the vertical stripe and my Pattern 44 for the horizontal stripe.  (These patterns were posted on February 25th and 26th.)  So each one is a separate layer.  I have been putting my horizontal layer on top and then reducing the opacity of the top layer to 50%.  The following pictures shows how this stripe combination turned out when made into a plaid.
