Crescent Repeat

No. 20 of 100 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeAn allover repeat on deep plum. Gold crescents alternate with small four-point sparks on a fine diagonal lattice, the crescents facing left and right in alternate rows.

What it meansAllover repeats are the language of textiles and wrapping, and crescents and stars are the season's commonest motifs. The half-drop keeps the eye moving diagonally.

Where it worksThe pattern piece of the set: rich enough to hold a wall, calm enough to live with. It pairs well with the lantern prints.
