A fair share of the pattern
An original explanation of an invented fabric-printing project.
Our group wanted to print a cloth using five small wooden stamps. At first, each person worked on a separate strip. When the strips were joined, the cloth looked like five unrelated projects, with abrupt changes in colour and spacing.
We tried again. This time, everyone used every stamp, and we limited everyone to the same two colours. We also left an unprinted border around the whole cloth. The repeated shapes connected different areas, while the plain edge stopped the pattern seeming to continue indefinitely. Nobody could point to a single strip and call it theirs. That felt disappointing for a moment, until we realised that we could all recognise decisions we had made across the entire piece.
In your own words, explain two changes that made the second cloth look more unified.
