Decisions, decisions. I've been adding more hexagons based on the techniques from 15 Minutes of Play workshop that I took back in December before I broke my hand. At first I was going to arrange them by color, graduation from lights on one side to darks on the other. The photos reflect the latest attempts at the top, with the first attempts in the last photo). In the first photo I've mixed the top half trying to mix the values but the bottom half is still a work in progress. This probably makes no sense to you, the reader. This was the result of an idea that popped into my brain and I thought I'd mix the hexagons up and intersperse lights with the darks trying to work with value. The middle and last photos show the hexagons groups be color. Not sure where I'll be going with this. I have been continuing to make groups of pale yellows, yellow, orange, red, blue, purple, dark purple, brown, etc. Any advice? It is fun to go through my scraps (and al the "flowers" are made using only scraps. Nothing is cut from yardage.)
So pleased so read that you are back with the hexagons again - I actually like the look of the second shot grouped by colour - how would they look with each colour going diagonally? I could see the blue being the longest line and so on.
ReplyDeleteHi. I'm trying that in the first arrangement which is the one currently up on my wall. I'm going to do the bottom half diagonally keeping the colors together in the line. Next is a plan to put the back into "flowers" and try them diagonally again. Lots to think about...
