Arts & Crafts Pattern Repeats

The Kaleido Tile

Eight-fold mirrored Arts-and-Crafts botanical wedge — olive leaves, madder berries, sage stems — rotates slowly against deep indigo, forming a rose-window of pattern.

When to use it

Dark-mode hero backgrounds, arts-and-crafts or heritage brand themes, ambient screensaver-style displays.

When not to

Light backgrounds (indigo hardcoded in CSS). Contexts needing text legibility over the canvas.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change rotation speed by editing `rot += dt * 0.16` to `rot += dt * 0.04` for a slower spin, and swap `PAL.madder` to `'#b05cc8'` for purple berries. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • rotation speed (dt * 0.16)
  • palette colors (PAL object)
  • radius scale (R * 0.92)
  • number of wedge segments (loop limit 8)
  • concentric ring count (i <= 4)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (REDUCED)
  • visibilitychange pause/start
  • DPR-aware fitCanvas
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in both CSS and PAL.indigoDeep — must change both to retheme
  • No pointer interactivity; purely autonomous rotation
  • Static single frame under reduced-motion (no illustrated fallback)

  • The Wallpaper LoomA seamless Arts-and-Crafts botanical tile — olive stems, sage leaves, a madder flower, and indigo berry clusters — scrolls diagonally on a warm cream ground.
  • Bird & Berry RepeatA tiled canvas repeating stylized birds and berry sprigs in Arts-and-Crafts palette; the colourway breathes slowly across three indigo-madder-olive schemes.
  • Growing VineRecursive vine grows upward from bottom center, branching symmetrically with olive leaves and madder flowers at tips, then fades and regrows on deep indigo.
  • The Colour-Way SwitcherArts-and-Crafts ogee botanical tile scrolls upward while cross-fading through five historic dye-bath colourways — indigo, madder, sage, gold, and ink.
  • The Acanthus ScrollTwo rows of Arts-and-Crafts acanthus leaf motifs scroll continuously on a cream ground; a gold pen traces the path as if self-drawing.
  • The TrellisDiamond lattice of olive laths with madder roses and leaves at each joint; blooms open in a staggered wave across the trellis then repeat every 6 seconds.
