patterns

I haven't been in town just for fun for ages. So yesterday
I took my camera, went to the older part of the city and
took pictures, with patterns and textures in mind.

My first stop was Münster, the cathedral.











Later, I strolled around between the houses.









At home I saw the weeds are already all over the places
again, awake from the winter sleep. I took this one to be
a model for my drawing.

I got this maneki neko last month from a friend. She brought
it from Japan - her homeland - and said, it should bring me
luck.



I'm glad her family in Japan is fine. And so far everyone I
know are okay as well. Sending my thoughts to those in Japan.
I hope, no bigger catastrophe is coming.

any percent cut. Etsy seems to hinder a fundraising shop this
time :(
