With many of us off for the holidays, we thought this week we would give you a bit trickier of a project. For our 50th flash contest, we are challenging you all to make tessellating tiles. Tessellations are repeating patterns of all the same shape that interlock with each other with no gaps. The artist MC Escher was famous for his tessellation art and hopefully some of his work can inspire you. Don’t worry if you have never made a tessellation before, there are lots of videos available showing how to make it work. All valid entries must be more than basic shapes, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and other basic shapes will not count. We look forward to seeing what kind of patterns you all come up with.
