These fields reminded me so much of a piece of woven fabric. It's almost like the curtain I wove last year. Maybe I'll make a tapestry out of this shot! hmm...

Hope there's a bounce in your step today folks. For the Looking Close...on Friday theme 'Fabric Texture'

vintage silk from a little girls kimono (just a narrow scrap, but the colors are glorious)

there is some of my sister's potpourri encased behind the lace,the velvet is something I found in her stuff after she died, I think she might have been planning a crazy quilt. Everything is attached to a scrap of Aida cloth.

From Korea <3 :)

“Colorful Fabric” — Colorful fabric on a rack in a San Francisco Bay Area shop.

This is a photograph of some fabric items on display at a store we passed while we were out photographing something entirely different. We took a short break from photography and entered to store to look at.. hats. And there by the entrance was a rack of these very colorful items. How could I resist?

I suppose there might be a few lessons in such a photograph. There are potential photographs everywhere, and if you have a camera with you and keep your eyes open, you just might spot something unexpected. And even when you have some particular subject in mind, it isn’t a bad idea to keep your options open and consider entirely different subjects.

G Dan Mitchell is a California photographer and visual opportunist. His book, “California’s Fall Color: A Photographer’s Guide to Autumn in the Sierra” (Heyday Books) is available directly from him.

I saw a collection of Liberty of London Fabrics showcased this way a couple of years ago out in blog world, and it inspired me to collect enough hoops to do the same thing with vintage fabrics for a display in my retail shop.

eBay purchase #2 - one of the two fabrics motivating me to bid on this auction

A bolt is a unit of measurement used as an industry standard for a variety of materials from wood to canvas, typically materials stored in a roll. The length is usually either 40 or 100 yards, but varies depending on the fabric being referred to, for example, a bolt of canvas is traditionally 39 yards. The width of a bolt is usually 45 or 60 inches, but widths may include 35–36”, 39”, 41”, 44–45”, 50”, 52–54", 58–60” and 66”, 72", 96", and 108".
