Create tessellated M.C. Escher fish using Martin Raynsford's original DXF file, sized for 42 fish frames. To enhance visual texture, consider cutting two different colored fish on stained wood with varying shades. Visit http://msraynsford.blogspot.com/2012/03/escher-fish.html to see Martin's design and browse Flickr photos for more process details. Watch a laser cutter in action at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs1zGo-hFho. For the project, use 1/4" plywood or desired material, stain different shades, varnish, and cut. Alternatively, cut fish separately using Martin's layout for a wood grain effect. If not using wood, this step may be skipped. Finally, assemble frame parts with glue and clamps, and fill with fish to complete the artwork.
