Texture and Pattern Tuesday

Texture and Pattern Tuesday

We have just returned from a 2-week driving vacation from Maine to Indiana.  Boy, do I have a lot of texture and patterns to share.  These are from the Harvard Museum of Art.  All but the last are detail shots from the Aboriginal Art Exhibit.  The last is the metal chairs in the museum's cafeteria.  Enjoy!

 Pardon the shadow.

Texture Tuesday with Fabulous Textures but Lousy Eco-prints

This last weekend I did some eco-printing.  As eco-prints they were more fail than fab but I did get wonderful color and texture.  The material is all ironed flat so everything you see is printed texture. The pictures are all close-ups since I don't think the texture would show well in an overall shot. Enjoy.
 

Yep, above is a pretty close copy of the real fabric. It looks great in person.

A friend saw a brochure for the Schoodic Sculpture Trail Map in Maine.  She thought of me and passed along the map.  My husband and I have spent two very long days driving up and down the coast of Maine looking at the fabulous, mostly huge, stone sculptures.  We still have at least one more day before we will see all of them.  So, here are some texture pictures from the sculptures.

This one is for Beth.  If you follow her blog you know that this is very similar to one of her favorite marks.  Check it out here at Sew Sew Art.

Texture and Patterns from the Beach

Took my grandson to the beach to celebrate his birthday.  And, of course, I took pictures for my inspiration catalog.

More Texture Pictures

Spent the day at Beth's house making stamps.  I'll show them later.  But coming and going I took pictures of texture and patterns.  Here are the best from today.

Trees for my texture catalog

 It is surprising to me that once I stop looking at trees and look at them as pattern and texture what I can really see.
