Arts & Crafts Pattern Repeats

The Honeycomb Repeat

Hexagonal grid where each cell blooms with olive leaves, madder petals, and an indigo berry; motifs pulse in traveling sine waves across the tiled field.

When to use it

Dark-background hero sections, decorative full-bleed backgrounds for craft/botanical/arts themes.

When not to

Light-background layouts (background hardcoded dark indigo). Contexts needing text legibility over the pattern.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the hex radius from R=44 to R=32 for a denser grid, swap PAL.madder to '#c0392b' for brighter petals, and slow the pulse wave by changing t*1.4 to t*0.8. 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

  • hex radius (R=44)
  • palette colors (PAL object)
  • pulse wave speed (t*1.4)
  • wave spatial frequency (cx*0.012, cy*0.012)
  • petal count (i<5 loop)
  • leaf count (i<3 loop)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

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

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in CSS — must change both #1d3550 in CSS and PAL.indigoDeep to retheme
  • No pointer interaction — purely ambient
  • Dense hex loop may be CPU-heavy at very large viewport sizes

  • 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.
