Botanical gardens

I took a stroll around Durban botanical gardens today. I was looking at textures and patterns found in nature. Particularly tree bark. I also took the chance to try out my new macro lens for my phone camera. It's really nifty and clips on with a magnet. Something I noticed with pictures from far and close of the same bark is that big texture is made from lots of small texture. This may seem obvious but it points the way towards successful texturing in carving. Take care on a micro scale and the macro scale will look good.
