Just realized this is possible and wanted to keep it for future reference, as I have no direct need for it now. Hope others find it useful too. This should allow for reasonably decent angled stripes too because you could continue to go diagonal with multiple 2x2s, 3x3s or 4x4s in a row.
There are slight gaps, but not large enough to fill with ½ plate elements. Those gaps can be used as subtle greebling, so it's not that bad if you can make it work for you.
Note I did not have a 3x3 plate at hand but it's not required: the solution shown here is one plate higher than a single 3x3 plate would be. If you want to cover things with tiles, the extra plate height is unavoidable for 3x3 and 4x4 anyway.
You can do this with larger wedge plates too, obviously.
My computer has crapped out. I cant get it to even pull up Second Life. My husband will try to fix it in the next few days. Please bear with me and I am sorry for the lateness of posts.
I figured it was time to start my Christmas shopping yesterday, even though it was a day earlier than my usual habit. I decided to bring my camera along and catch a few street scenes as well.
I played with some of the special presets on the trial copy of Lightroom I downloaded here.
Note to self.... never explore through a nettle infested scrap yard whilst being bittern to hell in shorts!
For Macro Mondays "Crime".
My husband was nice enough to make me a ransom note, although he went a little overboard. I will save the entire thing in my "props" drawer for another day. But here is part of it through a small magnifying glass, fitting within the 3 inch limit.
The magnifying glass is about two inches above the paper, prompting my first stab at photo stacking so both glass and words would be in focus. I had hoped to play more with angles to show the distance between them, but alas, no time.
HMM!

Die Barrikade auf dem Michaelerplatz in der Nacht vom 26. auf den 27. Mai 1848
Anton Ziegler
1848
Wien Museum
"The demonstration of the students on March 13, with which they demanded freedom of speech, teaching, and learning, was the starting note for the revolutionary events of 1848. From then on, the “Academic legion”, an armed formation of students, was at the forefront of all revolutionary actions. When the government resolved to dissolve the Legion, the students, supported by workers from the periphery, erected roughly 160 barricades in Vienna’s city centre from 26 to 28 May, with which they forced the government to repeal the decree." sammlung.wienmuseum.at/en/album/a2ciemencqh4v4gpf-barrica...

This was discovered a while ago when work was being done on flats in Great Yarmouth.

The standard disclaimer still applies: That's a wooden decoy -- anchored
to the bottom of the lake -- that the egret is standing on.

My small build in participation to @trickybricks’ #everyoneisawesome and #rainbowbuildchallenge. It may be simple but it means a lot to me: it’s not the being different that is the struggle, it’s the acceptance that we are not different from each other is what matters most for me

I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
