I have decided that I am only going to choose two cultural patterns in which will create my own interpretation of them instead of three, for I feel that I do not feel strongly enough and was not really inspired enough about any of the other cultures that I have researched so therefore the outcome will not be as good or well thought out as my other two designs.
I really wanted to do a Mehndi design for I come from an Indian backgroud and I am hugely inspired by the beautifully hand-done designs that they apply to the hand on the week of her wedding. I also really wanted to do an Aztec culture design for I really like the colours and the use of geometrical shapes.
I really like how the bride's two designs are completely different; the Mehndi design uses natural forms and organic shapes and is very soft and smooth whereas the Aztec designs uses geometrical shapes and is very sharp and hard.
I am very happy with both of my designs and I think they will work very well as wallpaper designs and will look good printed out using lino.
