We were given a large piece of paper so I decided to cut out a series of the same shape, a kind of shield shape, I cut out a few rows of this shape, cutting one out and using it as stencil so the shapes were the same and the same size...
I then cut a small shape out of the center of the shield shapes and folded the corners in to give the shape some 3D...
Next I put two together to see how I could attach the two corners together to make a bigger over all shape and to see how it could also become a repeated pattern...
I stuck 4 together in this way, but joined the corner of the first and fourth together to make a round shape, in the style of a flower, I then used the small sections I cut out of the shields and attached them behind the join where the two shields were joined to give the idea of leaves or extra petals...
I decided that this design gave off the floral idea as I wanted but the shapes were too big making the overall shape too big which made it flimsy and a bit too spread out for what I wanted, so I experimented with just attaching 3 shields together...
Finally I made 3 of these overall shapes that were made up of 3 shields and experimented with how they could fit together to make a more floral design and to also see how they could be repeated or made into a repeating pattern...
I liked this outcome so I think I'm going to try further experiments with it and more towards this design for my final piece...
