None of these are sewn together yet. I have been experimenting with all the different ways you can make hexagons out of other shapes. Each block ends up being a 2 inch hexagon.
Granny hexagon.
I started using yarn from my stash, but as the project got bigger I had to by some more to finish it.
Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm f1.2
Aperture was set at 2.0
A fascinating and useful attribute of this lens is that its bokeh changes very distinctly at different f-stops. Wide open at 1.2 the bokeh will be overlapping circles and discs. At 2.0, bokeh are medium-sized translucent, soft hexagons. At 2.8, bokeh are smaller, harder, more opaque hexagons. Because there is no electronic record of aperture made when the photo is taken, the distinction in bokeh shape helps me identify how I had set the aperture for a photo with bokeh.
This tree hydrangea always offers us about a month of floozy pink in the autumn, as if it wants to go out of the year in a party mood.
One of the aspects of my photography that I would like to improve is composition. To achieve bokeh like this, I'm often practically lying on the ground to shoot up at my subject with the illuminated canopy of a tree in the background. If I can achieve a focus on the subject and bokeh in the background, job done, I think. But the result, as in this case here, is often a poorly framed or crowded subject. Just another reason to keep trying!
This is a quilt with the hexagon cross module. It is possible to fill a plane with hexagons.
Just have look also to the back side.

72 units (30 of them are half modules for the edges)
paper size: length:width = 1.443 : 1 (half module: 0.722 : 1)
Other possibilities with this module are e.g.:

Our Daily Challenge 21-28 July : Hexagon or Hexagonal.
Cheapo ones, but still one of my favourite media
I usually have a few long-term projects on the go (projects that end up taking me multiple years), so I wanted to make a 'quick' project. Someone gave me the striped navy blue fabric and I didn't know what to do with it. This winter I realized that it would make a great bag, and the blue would go so well with red, pink and orange. All but one these hexagon fabrics is Kaffe Fasset.
I handstitched the hexagons over the course of a month or two. For the bag I followed a tutorial called Simple Lined Tote by Felicity Quilts, on the 'OCD: Obsessive Crafting Disorder' blog. I changed the dimensions a bit (like making the straps longer). I will probably make a few other adjustments if I make another bag. The gussets at the bottom were new to me. Not sure I would do it that way again.
I hand appliqued the heart to the bag, then used red thread to essentially quilt each separate hexagon.
One of the best parts is that I only used my stash (including the thread) and scraps to make it.
Material : "holographic" wrapping paper
Created by me.
Last month, I saw this photo and was fascinated by the star box at the bottom.
I was told by people on the origami-l mailing list it is a model by Francis Ow, diagrammed in the book Origami Bible by Nick Robinson. But I don't have this book.
I began playing with hexagons and finally came up with this model.

I hope you have fun folding some for Christmas.
My first proper hexagon project with 30s fabric. Not quite sure where I'll end up but I'm having fun in the meantime! :)
This model uses a molecule of an hexagon twist on top of an hexagon pleat (no twist).
Tant paper, hexagon from 35x35 cm square, 64 division grid.
Back and front views, backlit with flash.
Hexagonal pyramid - designed and folded by me. Using a technique similar to Andrey Ermakhovs Moai and Jo Nakashimas Pyramid. One uncut hexagon of elephant hide.
played a little with photo effects - hope you like it :)
Happy St David's Day!
