My fabulously-talented-in-her-own-right-sister recently asked if she could have some peel and stick wallpaper that looks like this pen and inks piece I drew 8 years ago:

So I worked and worked, and this is what I came up with:
![repeating pattern with swirls and waves by heathert](https://designbyheathert.com/wp-content/uploads/Patterns/Sea-Garden-Tumble-960x960.jpg)
First change (in Procreate): no focal point! Otherwise it makes the pattern super-easy to point out. I also made the purples into more of a gradient because I was afraid it would turn out too dark. Best thing is that my sister loved it. I think I’ll try this process again soon!
