December Textures

The month of November in all it’s colorful fanfare, makes way for December where textural elements in the landscape are more apparent and dramatic.  These photos I took today on our walk with the dogs at our favorite Nature center in town.  The reflections of the moss covered trees in a puddle on the path below,  gave me  wonderful inspiration for some new textural carved pendants.   This “artifact” Chow pendant above is getting close to completion and almost ready for adoption!!!. I love the look and feel of the carved “faux ivory”…so rich and opulent and goes with absolutely everything!

We have so many lichens and mosses here in Oregon.  Everywhere I turned there was one textural layer juxtaposed against another.

 

 

This ferny little moss covered a tree trunk from bottom to top. In the summer they are dry and brown and pretty much invisible against the bark.
