What’s My Line ~ texture and a bare sunflower

Well, here’s some photos I took over the past weekend of the sunflowers – make that sunflower pods.  Aren’t they just so cool?  So I thought I would share… not real exciting color-wise, are they?  But… there’s more…

Oh! Their beautiful curvy shapes!  The eye-catching texture.  The shadowy drama of design … and line!

I think this is my favorite {below}.  Love the muted, deep shades of  neutrals and beige … browns and black … and that deep textural, slightly mysterious spikey look of those edgey lines.

If I was to play with a photo for a screen… this would be the one I’d start with I think.  Although there are not enough hours in the day to play with art… I think I need to learn how to get this into photoshop and send it to Margaret Applin {scrapwisdomcollage.blogspot.com} and make it into… a cool, cool thermofax screen.  

What do ya think? 

All I can say is that’s it’s on my bucket list.

I also love the curvy edges on the tops of the empty pods… aren’t they just the coolest lines? 

And so much of what we do when we create is about {drumroll here!} …. “the line.”

and not the line drawn in the sand!  And not that line you might cross… but the ‘design line’ —  the depth of the line, the heaviness, or lightness… the straight line or the curvy line… gosh… it’s a regular ‘line dance!’ 

Whether you’re taking photos, quilting with thread, or sketching… there’s “alot on the line!”  

It’s not … always… about color! {or so I tell myself!}

It’s not.
