December Fool
Time to decorate...
I know that some of you have already fully decorated your apartments or houses for the festive season, but we haven't even started properly yet. No Advent wreath, just four tealight holders with tealights, no tree (but we never put that up until right before Christmas Eve). So I thought I'd start decorating with some macro Christmas colours for "Kitchen".
But first of all, I sort of shot myself in the foot instead of shooting what was asked for: a kitchen tool. Yesterday, while cleaning up after preparing fruits for breakfast (grapes among them), I saw a tiny, round, berry-shaped leftover on the counter and picked it up to take a closer look. It was a baby grape, or rather a grape embryo, because the tiny thing was only 3 mm/0,11 inches long (4 with stem). Needless to say, this called for the Laowa 50mm Ultra Macro, and I became so obsessed with including the tiny grape in the photo that I forgot about the required subject.
And when I re-checked the theme description today, I thought, "Oh, yikes, I got the subject wrong". So I rummaged through the kitchen counters, picked up this and that, and in the end, as I was running out of time, settled for an abstract approach and a speciality knife with a very pronounced serrated edge (a proper zigzag when looked at from above): a decorator knife. With the help of my makeshift colour filters, I tried to bring out the blade's triangle shapes, and at the same time, "separate" them from the blade. The result reminded me of a jester collar/costume.
Size info: The blade's notches are 1,2 cm/0,47 inches long, and the zigs of the zag (what is visible in the scene) are 3 mm/0,11 inches long, so the width of the frame should be about 3 cm/1,18 inches.
HMM, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!
