Inspiration - rust colours and textures
Over at Geevor Tin Mine Heritage Centre near Pendeen Cornwall there remain the ghostly remnants of a byegone mining era and a wealth of rusty treasures to interest the textile artist and photographer

Fantastic images,Carolyn,
The textures are amazing, aren't they? You are not alone in finding inspiration in what others consider to be, strange places - it's everywhere, if you take the time to look!
The rusty colors remind me of an American Thanksgiving Day! Brown, orange, burnished reds. I love it! I love the way artists like you see things!
Great capture of texture and colors! Love it.
I was on a walk today and collected all Red leaves....thought of you. =-)
Your posts always give me a good feeling! It's always a fantastic travel through a land of colors.
Best regards from Hungary

Hi Carolyn,

Thank You Carolyn, for sharing this amazing group of photos. I began my search for orange after being surrounded by all the 'orange' of the season at the grocery store, but your wonderful discoveries were the best!
Wow, Carolyn! What amazing photos! I wish we'd gone while we were down there now!
You are a little bit awesome :)
I love the massive range of Textiles you use, because I don't like to stick to one particular technique, I'm a student, and I can take inspiration from all aspects of your work :)
