binary, 5 plots
Maybe the nicest of all tilings is the regular tiling with hexagons. A seamless fit and exciting at the same time. I had to make a decision about how to put them in order. The solution is to stagger them. This was the first plot where I put the "bytes"(hexagons) in random order. My good friend and artist Marten Hazelaar suggested that. It creates a field of hexagons where no hexagon is the same. It is pleasing to the eye. Also check the ones with three extra lines that make them look like cubes.
03-01
28 = 256 hexagons
Also possible:
Different dimensions (smaller than 20x20cm)
Shuffled (see next one)
white, silver, gold or bronze on black paper (maximum 6 bits, so 64 hexagons)

28 = 256 hexagons
In sequence from the top left to the bottom right (column wise)
3D effect because of three lines from the middle to the side
