I love the smooth, the nubby, the crinkly... the velvety...the ... well, MY list is endless...
Even our walls have texture. Suede paint.... have you seen it? It is done in two coats. One coat with a roller ... and then... when dry.. a second coat with a big brush ... doing big X's... It ends up looking like it has two different colours..but, it is just the optical illusion created by paint going in different directions. It looks like you could run a hand over it and smooth it one way and then the other. Of course, you can't... and it is hard, with a very slightly rough texture close up......but, it's one of the things I don't run my hands over...I just admire it with my eyes.

Silk..... mmmmm .......love slubby silk.......
Velvety tapestry..... glorious smooth wood....a bumpy row of little smmoooth tacks..... how I love running my fingers over it all..... just gotta touch it...
And.... this....well, this is the best texture of all...
Cleo..... Vikki's sweetie..... no cats live at my house, so I get my fill of smooooth soft fur at her house. Three indoor cats and two that live in the shop... all with lovely soft fur to touch. And...then....two horses .... purrrrfect.....

The feel of silky cat fur is fabulous! My curly furs feel very soft but not smooth. Kind of like the fur of a well-loved teddy bear.
Oh, you are wonderful ! ..." go through the shops....touch it all... I think we can go to the shop together *hihi*
It is so lovely to read your blogg and you are so talented in putting photos and words together. I wish my English was better than I could write what I mean.
Lovely head photo !
Have a nice day !
Yes! I enjoy textures, too, even down to a good "crunch" in my food! All your textures look delightful to the eye as well as to the touch!
I'm a textures person too! It's really hard for me to visit art galleries and not touch the art.
Textures! I am constantly drawn to stroke, fondle, and slide my hands over almost every surface I see. I think there is a tactile gene of some kind that every artist has. LOL
Your pics are wonderful and I have to agree that the kitty fur (and don't you LOVE kitty-paws!) is the best!
Hugs,
Sue
aww cute kitty :)
I'm always wanting to see how something feels too, but generally stop myself before I rub someone's head :p lol
Very exciting blog today. Love your take on texture...your pictures are always so beautiful. I love seeing your home...Shelly
Love the photos...especially of the kitty of course! :O)
Great picks for this week's theme, Vee. I love to feel for texture....particularly love the soft fluffy texture of my dog's coat.
I hope to post mine over the coming days once I'm feeling a little better ~ :)
