This modern rug or wallhanging was made using the same process I used above to make the horizontal band. But instead of simply flipping and repeating the same image vertically, I combined bands made from four different images.
The first image was a portion of the skull of skeleton #3. I doubled the image, mirrored it, then used the vertical perspective deformation tool on it. After making the band, I resized it to 224 pixels wide. I then copied it and flipped it to make the "medallions." This band is used at the beginning and the end of the rug.
The next band was made from a section of neckbones from skeleton #1. I sharpened this image once. Again, the image was copied, mirrored, and repeated across. This band was also resized to 224 pixels wide. It was used "right side up" after the medallion row and in the center, then "wrong side up" in the center and before the last medallion row.
The third band was created from a selection of the ribs of skeleton #1. This image was copied, mirrored, and repeated across, then the image was copied, doubled vertically, and pasted flipped to create the final band. I resized this to 224 pixels wide, then placed it on my "rug after the first neckbone section and before the last neckbone section.
The fourth band was created from a selection of the ribs of skeleton #3. The image was copied, mirrored, and repeated across, then resized to 224 pixels wide. It was added to the rug after the first doubled-rib section, and inverted and placed before the last doubled-rib section.
All resizing was done as "pixel resize" and maintained aspect ratio.
In placing the bands together, I had to move some bands to one side a bit to line up the eight "touchpoints." In those situations, I did have to add part of an extra copy of the band to fill out the design completely across the "rug."
When I had it finished, I rotated the whole 90 degrees. It seemed easier to see the pattern as a whole that way!
