Visual Delights: Pattern and Texture

People often ask me what inspires my Ancestress Series masks. My answer usually includes textures and patterns found in nature, as well as handmade textiles, silver work, basketry and ceramics. Because I'm currently in RPM (Research and Play Mode), with new ideas swirling around, I thought I'd share some patterns and textures I've found on my latest online artventure.
Enjoy.
