I was trying to take a picture of diving otters, and this was the result. I don't know why reflections off water would make hexagons...

I joined them together later, not as I went. I am addicted to Hexagons now. Each one is unique.

Earthenware clay
My "lidded vessel" project in my ceramics class at the community college. Took a slab of clay and hit the side until it was a hexagon. Stripes carved out with a small ribbon tool. Lid sits on a shelf. Used green and black glaze.
Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória
or Monastery of Batalha
Batalha , Portugal
As Capelas Imperfeitas (The Unfinished Chapels) show that the monastery was never actually finished. They form a separate octagonal structure tacked on the choir of the church (via a retrochoir) and only accessible from the outside. It was commissioned in 1437 by King Edward of Portugal ("Dom Duarte", d.1438) as a second royal mausoleum for himself and his descendants. But he and his queen Eleanor of Aragon are the only ones buried here (Eleanor died in exile in Toledo in 1445, her remains were only moved here in 1456).
The original design, begun by Huguet, was altered by successive architects, especially Mateus Fernandes . The octagonal rotunda has seven radiating hexagonal chapels. In the corners of the chapels stand the massive unfinished buttresses, that were intended to support the vault. These pillars, designed by Diogo Boitac, are decorated with Manueline motives carved in stone.
The portal rises to a monumental fifteen metres. It was originally built in Gothic style, but was transformed beyond recognition by Mateus Fernandes into a masterpiece of Manueline style (completed in 1509). It is completely decorated into a lacework of sumptuous and stylized Manueline motives : armillary, spheres, winged angels, ropes, circles, tree stumps, clover-shaped arches and florid projections. This homage of King Manuel I to his predecessor King Edward mentions his motto Leauté faray tam yaserei (I will always be loyal). This motto is then repeated more than two hundred times in the arches, vaults and pillars of the chapels.
The Renaissance loggia, added at about 1533, was probably meant for musicians. It is ascribed to the architect João de Castilho.

For Sana Saroti, August's Queen Bee. Nice and simple construction, but I have a 60 degree triangle ruler.
I cut into some of my Dear Stella fat quarters for this, and used the green and aqua prints to break them apart. This is the reverse of Hexagon One, as I hated to waste the fabric.
Hope this is bright enough!

I've chosen to do the black background floral prints with some black & white prints.
I think I'll be happy with the choices!
The basics of fractals. I took an image, created large hexagons, then saved it, and then created smaller hexagons on it, creating fractals of hexagons.
A random snapshot of the old ceramic hexagon floor tiles that are inside The Crouton, a small sandwich and salad restaurant that is on the first floor of the historic Inez Hotel building on the corner of East Monticello Street and South Railroad Avenue in downtown Brookhaven, Mississippi.
I have always loved seeing random patterns that are made with old ceramic floor tiles like these.
These hexagons are available in 3 sizes (30cm, 40cm and 50cm) and many different depths. They tessolate across a wall to create a very different but impressive storage solution. They can start from the floor, branch around a corner and begin to spread onto another wall.
One of our popular products which can be finished in bright colours for a kids room or in a combination of stlyish woods for a study or lounge area.
You give us the size of your space and we design a configuration that fits the space without over loading it with hexagons.
I made this quilt from a pack of fat quarters I got on a trip to Washington. I put a flannel backing on it so it would be cozy to use as a baby quilt. So... depending on who has the next baby girl... they will get this quilt!

I had Ashley's post "A Scattering of Hexagons" (Film In the Fridge)in my head when I sewed them on.
These were my son's overalls and I just wanted to girly them up a bit.
Love them!
Could not get a good pic of the front while on the girl as she turns 1 tomorrow and wouldn't hold still! :)
LOVE how my hexagon quilt turned out!! SO bright and happy!
