Tessellation Dress
M.C. Escher has long been one of my favorite artists. He often created tessellations (or tiled arrangements) that included one, two, and sometimes three different objects. One of the dresses I made for this challenge in November had one of his tessellated artworks that featured bats -- both full bodies with wings and closeups of their faces -- as its fabric. However, today's dress is an entire tessellation created by me (although inspired by Escher.) Pretty spring dresses fill up the space in this 12 x 12" piece, with darker tunic tops in the background between the dresses. This project took most of the evening to make, and it turned out lovely. It was a pleasure to use some of my favorite scrapbooking papers in the design. Can you see the dresses? How about the tunics? If you'd like to make your own tessellation using the pattern I created, just email me at [email protected] and I'll send you the diagram.
