Patterns make beautiful backgrounds and layers for your digital mixed media, collage art and creative iphoneography. When I began using my iPad to make art, I used a lot of old book illustrations as backgrounds. It didn't occur to me that I could take my own photos and use them.
Then one day I was looking at a pattern in the sofa fabric and thought, "That would make a great background."
Creative iPrompt:
Create a work of art using a patterned background you've photographed.
It's a good idea to go around snapping every pattern you see. You never know which ones you'll use. For example, when I took the photo of the floral fabric below, I had no idea it would be so perfect for the image of Primrose (inset).

Above is a mailing envelope I snapped which created the geometrical lines on this art journaling piece. Below, I used the pattern from a doormat to create a magical tree image. You'll notice that the photographs are a little blurry....that's what I love about creative iphoneography -- the mistakes don't matter...everything looks great in the final piece.
