Moroccan Gold & Stone Tiled Pattern

Moroccan Gold & Stone Tiled Pattern - student project

This class refreshed my memory on how to build the quatrefoil and barbed quatrefoil.  First time doing a Moroccan-style motif.  So made my project using that one.

Since I did not have the most recent Photoshop (still using CS5) I built the motif in Illustrator then moved it over to PS.

I made the fill with one concrete texture and the stroke with another darker one I had.  After adjusting the brightness & contrast they now have the appearance of stone.

Then to dress it up I filled the background with a gold foil texture.

Thanks again Helen.  Your mini classes are good head-work for me!
