Texture Part 4
You sure did, billyporter!
This looks to me like another galaxy. Not the same thing as "texture", but I'll keep looking.
That's a good picture! I agree with galaxy. It reminds me of the Jetsons for some reason.
No description comes to mind, but I like this picture.
I like it too. It's an attractive angle.
This one could have two textures. I see a birthday candle in the center, and the outline of the leaves make me think of a zipper.
That is so neat! I love ''birthday candle!''
Again, no name.
I forgot to bring the guidelines along.
What kind of texture is it? What does it look or feel like? lumpy, rubbery, whispy, velvety, spiky, smooth, soft, lacy, bumpy, feathery, fluffy, satiny, fuzzy, puffy, leathery, stringy, transluscent, suede-like, spidery, gnarly, brainy, crinkled.
Or,
What does it remind you of? balloons, blood vessels, Kleenex, birthday candles, plastic, teflon, alligator skin, wet corduroy, carpet, powder puffs, hair, pincushion, tarantula, venetian blinds, bubble wrap, dish scrubber, lava, paper, ribbon, whitecaps.
Best new word from last thread: scissory (honour goes to grampapa)
Best question from last thread: "You mean moss comes in kinds"? (congrats, nap)
I really need to go back and see if I have anything to contribute. I love this thread!
how about...blown glass?
I know that last one was pretty fuzzy. here's the original. that one drop of water caught my attention because it was sparkling like a diamond, but I just couldn't capture it with the camera.
smoooooooooth and shiny
fringed
purple dalmatian fur
Martian measles
snickerdoodle
here, you can see this one better
translucent, filmy
crepe paper
a bowl of strawberries with cream
a little overused maybe
spiny, spiky
you be the judge on the comparison LOL
Grampapa, those are good! I loved blown glass till I saw strawberries and cream. Yummy! I vote spiky. It's just fun to say.
Coney
Gorgeous!
Groovy
Groovy is cool!
DH took this and thought of it as X-mas card material. He was dismayed to hear me say...
Slobbery :))
billy, it's beautiful, but since you say slobbery, I'm seeing St Bernard
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!
Poor hubby. It was a valiant try. Give him back the camera and tell him to go try again.
What to call this? Fingers? Centipedes? Looks like something, I just don't know what.
Centipedes! What a pretty snow.
A fine line.
Lovely, billyporter! Looks like a golden thread!
Awww, why didn't I think of that! That's a better description.
Okay, I did take a little liberty with this one. It looked like an alien to me, all by itself. So I had to give it eyes. Plus, the others all look a little alien-istic to me too.
Sharks' teeth
I hate spiders.
String beans.
"COME AN GET IT !!"
(I'm thinking it looks like someone cupping their hands and yelling. Anyone have a better caption?)
LOL Love it! Your alien is darling. :)
the alien reminds me of the ones on the Muppet show...anyone else remember? too cute!
I love 'come and get it'...great imagination
ROTF laughing over the alien!! That is so cute!
Wow, all of those are exellent!!! Perfect names!
Twinkle.
WOW, those are cool ideas. I hope to get something online for you guys.. looks fun!
Working on a new area on our property I put in a small miniature Conifer grouping and would like to compliment the texture with spikey types like Yucca which I can locate easily but finding other species and their tolerance for zone (5-6) Prickly pear or perhaps cacti types that can take the cold can't find much .Any help is appreciated.
Peter
Hmmm................prickly pear will survive in protected areas. Will have to look into this.............choices are out there.
Alicemv, it is fun. I was a lurker till I finally had a picture. It's addicting! It also taught me to see things with a different eye.
Gamekeeper, grasses, sea holly, things like lavenders, or blazing stars are spiky.
Peppered.
