Here's a wet texture (shot of my car window after a night of rain)

Note to all: I started this thread just to see what would appear. All has worked out quite well and the textures are wonderful, covering an extensive range of sources.

 

Remember, there is NO LIMIT to the posts you can make in this thread, whether 1, 2, 3 or a dozen.   Thanks everyone for making this a fine thread, useful and fun.    Tom.

This is ground walnut shells, used in mass polishing of small jewelry items.  Smoothed but not highly polished jewelry items are placed into a bowl full of the walnut shells. A polishing compound is embedded in the walnut.   The bowl vibrates rapidly in small scale, giving movement to the metal parts and the walnut pieces. In a few hours all the metal items are brightly polished.

These pieces are 1mm - 1.5mm.

TOM   How neat that is :-) WOW! Walnut shells. I am impressed :)

Joe, I love both your last textures. The water on the window and ...the other one :)

From my frozen world.. and icicle

Water..on windshield or frozen are fine examples of textures often around us and not really noticed.

We have a huge tree that drop its leaves in our gutters and sometimes we dont see, how stuffed the gutters are, before these icides grow down from them. But they are so beautiful in the early morning light. Wouldnt you admit that? :-)

Yes, yes indeed.
