I was a little worried initially that using Honeycomb as a border would be (1) a little predictable, and (2) a little too simple, even for beginners. Tell that to the half dozen tiles that went to art heaven while I tried to “make it work!” In the example on this page, the tricky part was getting the top and bottom lines even so the sidebar areas would meet up correctly. It wasn’t quite as easy as it looks, and if you need to use your pencil to lightly guide yourself, you have my permission!
This second example is actually one large Honeycomb. It’s a slightly different approach, but if you did it this way, you could then draw a string inside the hexagon and continue from there. Why not give it a try?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create some Honeycomb-inspired borders. Definitely try to do it without gridlines initially, and see what other variations of this type of border you can dream up.
