Textures and Patterns #1

About two years ago I started taking pictures of textures and patterns on my walks and visits. When I read Gwen Hedley's Drawn to Stitch, I realised that I could use these as reference material for interesting embroideries or fabric manipulations or any type of art making. Well, so far I have not used them in embroideries or fabric manipulations or anything else, actually, but I do think it is a good idea to show two of these photographs each week. If you want to, you can guess what they are, and where they were taken,  but most of them are pretty self-evident!
