So far, my wallpaper designs have been 2D drawn patterns based on natural objects such as leaves and flowers etc. However, after a group tutorial last week it was suggested to me that I try using the actual objects i have been drawing to create the wallpaper. I took this on board and began designing a wallpaper pattern using fallen leaves as my material. I gathered and separated the leaves into brown and green piles then applied them to the lining paper with adhesive. I chose a geometric layout as I wanted to contradict the material I was using and its natural state. Because the leaves are no longer living, they will begin to brown and dry out and eventually flake away. I do not have a problem with this as it highlights the transient nature of the material, and as the leaves deteriorate, so does the pattern.
