I was driving home tonight thinking about my mosaic and stars came to mind – a whole sky filled with stars. I couldn’t see any tonight because of the clouds but I knew they were there and I could imagine them filling the sky. I thought about a way to create stars without actually making star shapes. I came up with triangles. After all, stars are made of triangles. Tonight I bring you a sky full of triangles pretending to be stars.
I had glass that was already cut into triangles. Can you believe it – a night with no cutting glass at all! I decided not to design the tile so much as just let it happen. I just started putting the pieces on the board and moving them around until they fit together. A few are off the edge but I’m ok with that. I was surprised that triangles play so nicely together.
They do play nicely together! And I really like that they’re over the edge. Feels freeing 🙂
It was a freeing feeling for me to realize the borders didn’t matter. It’s also amazing to me that the pieces only go over the edge a very little bit but just that little bit makes a big difference.
