Sunday sketch #417
I use hexagons so rarely in my designs that it took me a while to find the last one… I think it was Sunday sketches #291 and #292, which I posted in January 2022 (!). Those designs, like this week’s sketch, don’t use the regular hexie that you’re probably most familiar with – the one with sides of equal length and angles that are equal too. That shape’s a bit difficult (for me, at least) to create in EQ8, so I always end up using a different six-sided shape that’s probably a bit wonkier but feels more interesting to me.
Sunday sketch #17
You know how much I like repetitive patterns using a single shape. I like to see the diversity that can arise from rearranging the size and direction of one element. This week, the parallelogram.
Lots of interesting secondary shapes arise in such overlapping designs. Triangles, hexagons, more parallelograms.
I’ll keep playing with this idea. I think the top left corner is a little too busy. And I think translating this design into fabric would be a logistical nightmare.
