Test tiles

Recently I've had to stop work on CC but not really. been doing lots of experimenting so i can get the finish just right. Lots of wicca weaves.

Fail. couldn't even bring myself to finish this one. the cut strips were too sharp and the rolled horizontals i couldn't get thin enough.









Wire seemed the next logical step since it was already nice and thin. i pressed it into a layer of GS as Super Glue wasn't cutting it. thought that i could press roles of GS over it to create the weave.... didn't work how i imagined at all.








The way forward seems to be pressing in the putty to leave the weave. though neither of these two really techniques sell it.










What a mess. the top layer is all the same height and it just isn't working for me.












tried pressing a blade in to get the horizontals but used too much putty and realised after the wire that the pressing in of roles just doesn't work.









This would have been a mould for resin or something like that but i think its over complicating things so I'm experimenting down other routes.










found some patio patterns and thought i would give them a go. think if i had spent a little more time on this one it might have been going in the right direction. especially to the left hand side.
