Textural and natural things inspire me. I simply love taking pictures of my wood pile, for instance. We were unable to use the wood last winter because it was so warm. As a result the bark is coming away from the logs. The cuts are ragged and curling. In Gimp, I did various filters on the pic, with the last one being a "Gimpressionist filter." I found one that looked like threads. What an interesting look! Can't wait to see what this filtering does on pine cones and mushrooms!
