As I near the end of working on the armature I am starting to think seriously about the texture of the finish. 

I walked around my welding studio and just looked at textures. Here are a few that stood out. 

Bin of scrap metal 

Rusted wire cloth  

Floor waxing pads  

Broombristles  

Cracked mud and grass  

Root  

Nylon bag strings  

stump 

Whisk broom  

cracked saddle straps 

Rope  

Feathers  

Straws  

Legs of “Sonata in 4D”
