Photography is a wonderful tool to capture the world around and to get inspiration for textile design, which is my passion. I always have my camera on me and the three examples below will show you that it's great to have it nearby to snap a photo of a special moment. One just never knows what is going to happen ...
Let's take a look. The photo on the left is one of the ceiling at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The metal rods form beautiful waves above you and as you look up, they won't let you just look away. The scarf designed using this photo is now for sale at the Museum gift shop. If you are in Washington D.C., stop by. The middle photo is a close up of a pine cone I stumbled upon during a walk in Prague, my home town in the Czech Republic. Aren't the shadows just mesmerizing? They add so much texture. Again, a lovely detail to use in a fabric design. Lastly, the photo on the right is one I snapped after a storm in Costa Rica. This one rain drop ... it added magic to a banana leaf.
What do you think? Isn't there more to black and white then just them being black and white?
