Continuing on with the leaf theme I had to make patterns using my leaf stencil. Here are a couple of patterns made by repeating the leaf shape. They are quite tightly packed linear designs.
I tried some radial patterns as on the right:
The pattern on the bottom right reminded me of a triangle so I went on to make a repeat of triangles composed of 3 leaves. Because of the leaf shape they actually packed together better a bit offset. The effect is a bit like an Escher tesselation.
You could do the same with the radial pattern on the top right above, which looks to me like an irregular hexagon.
