Exploring a variety of themes in pattern design

I am "guilty" myself of rather sticking to the botanical theme ^^ So my resolution is to draw more animals and create patterns outside of the floral motifs this year! for every 10 patterns I'd like just 1 to be strictly botanical/floral. The other 9 should show different motifs, that's my goal.
Had sooooo much fun drawing those silly chickens! :D
I'll see you in class!
