Family Resemblance
Created for the LCoF "Nuts" theme I searched my stash of single nuts that I have saved "just in case" they were ever needed. I was struck with the idea that "Hex Nuts" were a sort of family so I sorted out several with the same "family characteristics" which I determined to be Hex shaped and chromed. I could have selected a "rusty" family or "brassy's" or "squares" or ... well I was just about out of time so selected what appeared the easiest path to Look Close Today.
Total width of this family portrait is 2". They are set up on a piece of orange construction paper hoping to get a color contrast and reflections. It was necessary to use a stack of 30 images to capture the textures and life history imprinted in the "faces" as well as the sharp edges of the working parts of the nuts.
Enjoy Looking Close on this Friday!
