Meravigliosa creatura - Gianna Nannini
Se que no es muy nítida la imagen, pero el esmalte es muy pequeño y la foto sólo es un fragmento. Esta pequeña obra la realicé hace mucho tiempo y le tengo un cariño especial. El dibujo surgió de un fragmento de aguadas de acuarela que sugerían una pequeña forma femenina, el color rojo de la acuarela sugirió el fuego y así nació esta pequeña figura que formará parte de una futura exposición.
Elythranthera brunonis is a perennial herb, 150-300 mm high with hairy leaf and flowering stem. The leaf is basal, an elongate oval shape and 20-80 long x 4-10 mm wide. There are 1-4 flowers 20-35 mm in diameter. The petals and lateral sepals are purple to mauve and glossy on the upper surface and white with purple or maroon spots on the lower surface. The labellum is white and the outer third folds up and back. Grows in lateritic and sandy soils.
- a gift from Clare (but not made by her) who brought it back from a trip downtown to Glasgow with Ray when I stayed behind in her flat for a small siesta (I'm quite expert at such!)

Macro Mondays: ring
I have photographed the ring on one of my scarves....
Part of a necklace bought in Paris, in a very small shop, near Sacre Coeur many years ago. The only trinkets I normally buy on holiday is cheapish jewellery.
Macro Mondays theme - trinket. Cropped to fit the size.

Some good old household names shown here...and a six penny aspirin machine...I am old, but even I don't remember these!
Another button from my vintage collection. This one is ⅝" wide and dates back to the 1940s. It's leaning against a piece of sari silk ribbon. I decided to keep it simple this week. :)
For this week's Looking Close... on Friday! group theme, Different Shades of Green.
This aturns out to be best with the colors in which I found the original by Hal Tenny on Deviant Art. See www.deviantart.com/art/Pipe-World-195354261 for his image which is probably rather better than mine except that I specifically wanted the change in size. It is fascinating that any formula should produce such a modular coaxial cable system trimmed out with a quite tasteful enamel pattern in blue and yellow.
I'm afraid I'm not feeling hugely inspired at the moment, so here's another button from my collection. It dates from the late 19th Century and it's quite large at 1½" across. The button is leaning against a (barely visible) vintage Sylko cotton reel and I added in a few of my trusty Hydrangea flowers for good measure.
Macro Monday Jewelry
I made this copper enameled pin one summer when my parents let me take an art class at a local high school. I think I was about 12. I loved the class and everything we did in it. After I finished the 4 copper enameled projects, I never made another piece. Still one of my favorite pieces of jewelry!!!
Coming to the end of this series now...a couple more to go. They have been well received by my contacts, but not so by the general Flickr audience...which to be honest, is a pale shadow of what it once was. Still...we persevere.
A series of pictures showing some of these iconic signs of an earlier age.Many copies are obtainable, mostly "aged" with a slightly damaged and rusted appearance, but originals like the ones in this series are increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
Some show ads for cigarettes, etc...these would certainly be banned today.

"Will not affect your throat...."
This one has certainly spent it's life indoors...not much damage, or weathering...a bullet hole, perhaps...
