London Zoo



My own images from London Zoo, 

inspiration for colour and repetitive structures 






I really like the grid work of the fishes scales and stems of the fins

The undulating structure of this corral is absolutely beautiful

The vivid stripes of the fish is stunning

The textures in this corral are wonderful and would work beautifully in a jacquard knit using Shima Softwere 

 Wonderful combinations of colours in these fish







 Heavenly corral 



 Etherial corral 

Stunning yellow
