Playing with Photoshop

I love playing with possibilities that exist for a single image, in this instance a shot looking down on sidewalk steps. Signs say watch your step. But the play of shadows and lines on these steps almost tripped me up. They’re a visual symphony. I think that the dirt and water stains or kind of painterly. 




Sidewalk Plaid: In Photoshop, I duplicated it, turned one copy 90 degrees, and then blended the two images. 




Sidewalk Fabric: a fabric design composite of flips and dupes of “Sidewalk Plaid.” How could I have this printed on actual cotton fabric? I think it would make a great smock.
