Tremendous Two Week Tessellation!



 

tessellation

A repeating pattern of closed figures that covers a surface with no gaps and no overlaps

Example:
 







This growing tessellation started with three yellow hexagons. The design grew out  from those three polygons. It was designed and assembled over a two week period.

Here is a photo of the tessellation after two days.




Below is the final design after two weeks of work! 

It's a masterpiece!





Sadly, the time came for the pattern blocks to be put away. 




Do you have a tessellation in your house? 

Most kitchens and bathrooms have square tiles that tessellate.
