Inspirations for shapes and textures

Charlie belden

Stumbled on this in a TED talk on microscopic photography

http://microsculpture.net

Looking at the “catalog” images I could see all kinds of familiar forms. But the idea of combining or stacking interesting forms in a single piece hadn’t occurred to me before. Then I got into individual insects and various details that only become apparent when you zoom in had my head spinning with texture ideas.

Check it out and maybe get some ideas for a future turning.

Follow the Explore link in the upper left corner, and then zoom in on the images using the on-screen controls.

That was truly awesome. Makes me want to go see the show. His work is stunning to say the least.
