Texture

Texture . . . . perhaps my favorite element of design.  To me, texture more than anything is what gives soemthing life and personality.  It's visually interesting to look at and to touch.  When I thihnk of texture i'm drawn to more natural elements such as stone, wood, mteals, and leather.  Two interesting things I saw recently when working on a class project were a laser cut sheet steel curtain (Mary Brogger) and leather floor tiles made out of old belts (Ting London).
