The repetitive shapes form a binding element.

This can be used to create an atmosphere, or to lead people in a direction. When the other instruments begin to play the environment has added interest!

When a shape of the same size is repeated a calming effect is created - like a drum beat or a heart beat.

The environment is relaxing. The shapes dance to a rhythm. The calm can be reinforcing the colour scheme, or add cohesiveness to a dramatic space.

When there is a regular line or shape repeated and random shapes are introduced, the rhythm remains calm - with interest.

This is when the violin plays, or the trumpet sounds

The shapes may vary in size, the orientation or positions can vary, or maybe a shape is missing!

When there are random shapes and lines the 'music' will be bouncing around, as the eye is caught in a flurry of where to look next.

Different sizes, orientations or positions will add interest.

This is not a calm environment - perfect for hallways and party environments!

When you select handmade pieces with repetitive stitches, a calm feel is evoked.
