Bamboo Textile Patterns for Print

Stylised bamboo images are well known in textiles and wallpaper.

I found these and liked the incorporation of the bamboo ‘seams’ and leaves together. My image for pics to picks didn’t have the leaves but they offer another dimension to the patterning.

I also experimented with a peg plan possibility. But my experiments didn’t go too smoothly but I will try again. I need to get the scale and proportions correct for the small pixel size of the peg plan.

    Kaz, have you ever walked by some mature bamboos and listened to them make clonk-clonk noise in the wind as they meet and greet each other? I was thinking inspired by your experimentations with my picture, I might want to consider weaving that kind of soothing, earthy, unpretentious cloth some day.
