MM Idea Generator

Macro Mondays - Contraption

I started the week by searching the house for some mechanical device to photograph, but found nothing that excited me. I then decided I would have to build my own contraption and that it should be an idea generator for MM. I know my contraption looks like a pile of junk, but use your imagination and allow me to explain a bit. I wanted to use some commonly photographed items for MM to build the device. You will see a light bulb, feather, match, die, key, paperclips, binder clips, and Scrabble tiles. I also used a key ring, wire nut, clothes pin, spring, L bracket, radiator clamp, rain jacket, Bible, and twist ties. The Bible is used as the base to provide a solid foundation and the red jacket made a nice backdrop. The light bulb represents the idea that is generated. The Key to sparking (match) a great MM idea involves some prayer (Bible) and taking a chance by rolling the dice. I usually like to inject some humor, which is represented by the feather (tickling device). The bracket, clips, clamps, ties, tiles, etc. hold everything together. Let me know if you want the complete plans for the MM Idea Generator. HMM
