Textures

After participating in a Japanese style of Yoga I went for a bush walk on the new Spotted Gum Trail at Mt Coot-tha. Saw many beautiful specimens of Spotted Gum. They are easy to pick because of the distinct markings on their trunks.

Amazing texture. The dark almost looks like the charcoal remaining after a bush fire. I am now thinking of how to reproduce this bark feature in fabric and thread. The lighter part looks like small mosaic tiles with the darker ones laid over the top in random areas. Rich dark colours , velour or velvet.

View from the riverbank at Yerongpilly where we do the yoga. River , birds ,eucalyptus’s, grass, sun and gentle breeze.  I won’t mention the ants 🐜 and the bumpy bits under the yoga mat which need adjusting occasionally .
