Washi tape backsplash

I added two rows of washi tape to the backsplash to give the illusion of small hexagonal copper tiles set into colored grout. I find it fascinating how the tape "tiles" appear to change color depending on what angle I photograph them from. Sometimes the aqua "grout" is clearly visible, but other times the backsplash takes on more of a brown, tarnished copper appearance.

 

I overlapped the edges of the tape a little bit to match up the pattern, trying to eliminate an obvious seam in the honeycomb. In this photo you can see the seam more clearly in that center (stove/oven) unit, but after I rubbed it with my fingertip, it's not quite as visible in later photos.
