Arts & Crafts Pattern Repeats
The Wallpaper Loom
A seamless Arts-and-Crafts botanical tile — olive stems, sage leaves, a madder flower, and indigo berry clusters — scrolls diagonally on a warm cream ground.

When to use it
Arts-and-crafts or heritage brand backgrounds, decorative hero sections, nature or textile themed UIs.
When not to
Layouts requiring legible text overlays — the scrolling pattern competes with foreground content. Light minimal design systems.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change patSize to 180 for a larger repeat tile, swap PAL.madder to '#8b5e3c' for an earthy rust flower, and slow scroll speed from dt*10 to dt*5. 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
- tile repeat size (patSize=132)
- scroll speed (dt*10)
- palette colors (PAL object)
- vignette opacity (rgba ink .12)
- leaf scale values (sc param in leaf calls)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- DPR-aware fitCanvas setup
- prefers-reduced-motion guard (REDUCED)
- visibilitychange pause/resume
- IIFE wrapper
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Tile is procedurally drawn at a fixed 132px grid — resize requires rebuilding via buildTile(), not just scaling
- Diagonal scroll direction is hardcoded (translate -off, +off); changing direction needs both axes adjusted
