Cool patterns

A few Saturdays ago I spent the afternoon hanging out with my friend Heather in her studio. My intention was to just relax and catch up, while she did a bit of pottering around. Thank goodness I brought my sketch pad though. After an hour of sitting with my feet up watching Heather industriously churn out these little purses (OK, it would seem that they were for NY Times readers), I started feeling like a big sloth. A good thing too, because instead of just admiring the cool patterns made by the rafters overhead, I actually got off my butt and captured them with a pencil and a camera. I'm quite keen to turn these into a painting.
