I have actually made a good amount of progress on my piece this week and am so far very happy with how it's turning out. This past Monday, I started by finishing my full sheet of spirograph designs, as seen as below. I actually liked how this looked on its own, but of course I knew I needed to cut it up. After I completed the sheet of designs, I used my two inch hole puncher to cut out sixteen circles. I originally planned on cutting out nine, but I decided more would be better. Once my background circles were cut out, I started experimenting with what the next layer would be. I originally had wanted it to be a very thin, organic paper but decided this was too translucent. Then I experimented with regular printer paper, but this caused the background design to be lost. I eventually settled on colored tissue paper.
Once I had my medium chosen, I cut out sixteen tissue paper circles. Then I began punching the small holes in the circles, creating somewhat of a gradient through the number of circles I punched. I still have a few more of these to do.
