When something like these two surfaces grabs me, I always take a closeup of the texture.\u00a0 Not that I want to recreate it in fabric, but I am recording my admiration in this ‘visual diary’, and possibly in time I will find inspiration in some aspect of it.\u00a0 These obviously already appealed in terms of grid layout and texture.\u00a0 There are more fabulous\u00a0door<\/span> examples<\/a>\u00a0here, and a few of some old safes and strongboxes<\/span><\/a> here.<\/p>\n
