Texture, Pattern and Surface techniques

When we were experimenting with textures and patterns along with surface techniques I created a mono print of a leaf. The stages can be seen below. I started by drawing a simple leaf. I then used the mono printing station that had been set up and this was the outcome. I then scanned this into Illustrator and got rid of any imperfections as well as live tracing it to create a defined line for the leaf. The next stage was to create a repeat pattern with it which can be seen on the end. My other attempts at texture pattern techniques can be seen below.
