Arts & Crafts Pattern Repeats

Bird & Berry Repeat

A tiled canvas repeating stylized birds and berry sprigs in Arts-and-Crafts palette; the colourway breathes slowly across three indigo-madder-olive schemes.

When to use it

Decorative hero backgrounds, arts-and-crafts themed UIs, ambient wallpaper sections with a historic or botanical mood.

When not to

Light or bright-color UIs (ground color is hardcoded warm parchment). Contexts needing legible text overlays — pattern density competes with copy.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the colourway cycle to hold on indigo only by setting ways to a single entry, and increase cell size from 92 to 120 for larger motifs. 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

  • cell size (cell=92)
  • colourway palette (ways array)
  • colour-cycle speed (dt multiplier)
  • bird scale (0.9)
  • sprig scale (0.8)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

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

Known limitations

  • Background parchment colour hardcoded in CSS and in ways[].ground — must update both to change it
  • No pointer interactivity — purely ambient
