I absolutely ADORED this class. I too am fascinated by historical pattern genres and it was so amazing to get a bit of a history lesson as well as amazingly in depth lessons on how to make your own.

I have several ideas of toiles I want to make but the first one I did was this one, based on the land of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda (anyone else play this?!). Me and my brother were obsessed with this game when we were younger and were so enthralled by the various towns, villages, forests etc that Hyrule had within it. If any of you are fellow Zelda-philes I'd love to know if you recognise the buildings!

I love a traditional look with a modern twist so for my main colourway I chose a super hot pink against a neutral:

But I couldn't resist trying some other colourways as well:

Here are my original line drawings which I then vectorised:

I used the finished pattern on a mug and blanket to give to my brother for his birthday :)

I had so much fun on this project and had the songs from the game stuck in my head the whole time! OK enough geeking out - thank you Barbel, I can't wait to take the rest of your classes.
