The challenge on the ninth day was to cut two tiles apart and tape them together again, halfsies. The 12-minute prompt video here, explains the process.
I enjoyed the first one so much that I did another. Here are my first two, with Bijou tiles:
I wanted to try more! Maybe full-size tiles. Maybe different colors.
I had a couple of standard tiles that I wasn't sure what to do with, a black one with a white wash and a white tile with a pink wash. I decided to use them. I had cut them apart before I remembered to take a photo, but now you can see where I cut them. The larger size seemed to want two cuts rather than just one.
When I taped them together they looked like this:
And after all the tangling and shading this is what I had:
I wasn't able to alternate tangles "mirror image" as much as I would have liked but I did try to repeat tangles.
Back to Bijou tiles. I did one more. On one tile I did dark ink on dark paper and lighter ink on the lighter paper. On the second tile I reversed it. I repeated the tangles on each tile.

This was my favourite idea from the 12 days. I knew it had so much potential for use in various ways, sizes, shapes, colours. I just haven't had the time to explore it yet. But thanks for this wonderful taster of possibilities. All your examples are glorious. I can't wait to play...
ReplyDeleteI agree, that was a very fun project. :) I LOVE what YOU did with it! Such creative compositions and fabulous color combos! This cut-apart-and-put-back-together-differently idea opens all sorts of heretofore hidden doors. I'm already looking forward to seeing more on this from you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great inspiration Margaret.
ReplyDeleteI am anxious to try more with this too.
I didn't see what you meant at first and then, when light finally dawned, I couldn't wait to give it a go. However, I've just started a bigger piece and am trying very hard not to get too many things started and not finished. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous! I really wasn't able to participate in the 12 days at the time but this really inspires me to get going on it anyway;-) Happy New Year and Cheers! to a year of creative adventures;-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't manage every day this year but there are some great ideas to try whenever you get the time.
