Seamless repeating pattern - using embedded images with clipping masks


hi forum,

 

we struggle bit creating seemless repeating pattern includes embedded images clipping masks applied.

our pattern 550x550mm black square various embedded inserted on top. of these images have clipping masks applied hide unwanted areas.

these images placed create seamless repeating pattern , includes areas overlap square.

once create swatch pattern repeatable area becomes big includes unwanted areas hidden clipping masks.

because repeatable area big it's not repeatable.

 

we tried various things in order solve issue. pathfinder/crop delete unwanted areas in images etc.

none of them worked enough.

we though of livetracing images, due complexity not option.

do have our "cutting" in photoshop or know fancy tricks issues this?

 

appreaciate insight
