Tuesdays of Texture: Moss
Posted on January 10, 2017
I found this moss growing on a tree in the Beecraigs Country Park near Linlithgow in central Scotland. The texture (and colour) of the tree bark is also interesting.

Tuesdays of Texture: Rooftiles
Posted on December 27, 2016
Our builders got very excited when a friend of theirs offered them a pallet full of old roof tiles. They asked if they could leave them with us and of course we said yes. They left them, on the pallet, just outside our barn. That was about two years ago.

Mundane? The Gatepost
Posted on December 26, 2016
It’s only an old gatepost – from a little further along the road that runs through our hamlet – but there’s a lot going on with it.

Tuesdays of Texture: Rope
Posted on December 20, 2016
I really liked the contrast between the black and white plaited ropes and the stainless steel whatever-it-is-that-they-wind-rope-round on this catamaran, moored at Sir Bani Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. We were about to embark on a sunset cruise, so the low evening light also enhanced the texture.

Tuesdays of Texture: Weathered Sandstone
Posted on December 13, 2016
This piece of sandstone down by Circular Quay in Sydney is not only a lovely colour but has also weathered very attractively.

Tuesdays of Texture: Abra
Posted on December 6, 2016
By far the best way to cross from one side of Dubai Creek to the other is on one of the little passenger boats called abras (think motorised gondolas). This one was tied up on the Deira side.

Tuesdays of Texture: Singer
Posted on November 29, 2016
A few months ago Madame realised a lifelong ambition and acquired a vintage Singer sewing machine – similar to the one on which she herself originally learned to sew. At the moment, it’s sitting in our entrance hall in front of a bright and cheerful quilt that hangs on the wall: one interesting texture set against another.
Tuesdays of Texture: Quilt
Posted on November 22, 2016
Last year, as a wedding present for our son and (now) daughter-in-law, Madame made a king-sized bed quilt, with most of the stitching done by her own fair hands. It took close to a full year to complete, and the last Swarovski crystal being stitched on just two days before the wedding. This is a work-in-progress image.
Tuesdays of Texture: Papermaking
Posted on November 15, 2016
My first contribution to Tuesdays of Texture featured paper lanterns made by traditional methods at the Moulin du Got. This week I’ve gone back a few steps in the paper-making process to the stage where rags and other stuff are broken down and stirred, with this wooden paddle, into what can only be described as gunge.
