"The True Mystery of the world is the visible, not theinvisible" OscarWild


For considerable time we have nurtured a common interest inthe obvious but generally unnoticed qualities of things. Attracted by thehidden beauty in our natural and manmade environment, we become fascinated bytextures, patterns and colors. Recording the ever-recurring visual patterns ofnature and of diverse artifacts, we noticed striking similarities between themand wondered if this were the result of principle of order, active in both manand nature.


When we juxtaposed the results of our observations-rangingfrom scenic views of landscapes and cities to close-ups of objects from fine art,crafts and daily life-they proved to display a number of constants, such as dots,lines and elementary figures. These elements, irrespective of there originappeared to us to be the basic ingredients of a universal language of patterns.


Actually natural elements with all diversities become one ofthe fashion sources, which give the natural touch to textile products and givethe comfort to the human eyes and filling.


On our study, we try to put some basis of natural ornamentsanalysis to generate ornaments and use on jacquard fabric design using thecomputer.
