The plants in the garden provide a wealth of texture and I've used virginia creeper and a clematis for some of my samples. The joints on bamboo canes when looked at closely also have rich textural markings
3.1Taken from a close-up photo of Virginia creeper in the winter. String, tissue paper and corrugated card.
3.2 Another close up of virginia creeper which has a more open and angular structure. Corrugated paper.
3.3 Virginia creeper is self supporting and sends out tendrils which can either stick to surfaces or wrap around stems or trellis etc. Paper covered wire
3.4 A long distance shot of Virginia creeper gives the impression of a messy tangle. Textured yarn.
3.5 This was the stem of a red hot poker flower the surface of which had been chewed by a snail or slug. Tissue paper.
3.6 The surface of a bamboo cane had tiny raised spots. Sometimes looking at both the original photo and the texture study it's hard to work out whether the there are raised spots or depressions. Card, tissue paper.
3.7 Damaged bamboo cane showing the internal woody structure. Tissue paper.
3.8 Joint of a bamboo cane showing the internal structure of the cane. Muslin.
3.9 Clematis flower head after the flowers have dropped. Paper string.
