A rose in my garden for the group ‘Looking Close…On Friday. I’m hoping it’s close enough, green enough and not too early to be submitted.
This is a red, you know what cat, a well known comic figure here in the Netherlands.
He is a philosophical cat in the comic: Jan,Jans en de kinderen.( Jan,Jans and the childeren).
Happy looking close....on Friday!

Miniature perfume bottle’s that I have had for years. These are the prettiest and unusual little designs. The golden one is a Salvador Dalí inspired design. If you look close (that’s the point), you can see what looks like a silhouette of a woman’s body. The cap is also a reminder of Mr. Dalí.
The flag halyard has been secured by belaying it.
The Looking close … on Friday group has chosen Knots this week.
When I was twelve, I entered a drawing competition, and I won my first set of Derwent pencils: a tin case of 36. As a designer and illustrator as well as a photographer, over the years I have acquired several different sets of Derwents for different purposes, including my beloved Derwent Studio Pencil set of 72 which I use predominantly these days for designing clothes.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 9th of April is “pencil points”. What better way to meet the theme (although now I look at them, some are pointier than others) than with my beloved Derwent Studio Pencil set? Colours in this photo from bottom left to top right are: Number 25 Dark Violet, Number 33 Light Blue, Number 45 Mineral Green, Number 48 May Green, Number Zink Yellow, Number 11 Spectrum Orange, Number 15 Geranium Lake, Number 22 Magenta, Number 17 Pink Madder Lake, Number 19 Madder Carmine, Number 23 Imperial Purple, Number 29 Ultramarine and Number 32 Spectrum Blue. The pencil point printed ribbon was a Christmas gift from a friend who gave me a whole box of ribbons to be creative with.
Derwent, or the Derwent Cumberland Pencil Company, is a manufacturer of pencils and other stationery. The business began in 1832 in Cumberland under the name of Banks, Son & Co. The company was bought by Acco UK and became a brand of their product range.
“After the ball is over,
After the break of morn,
After the dancers' leaving
After the stars are gone;
Many a heart is aching
If you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball.”
Lyrics from “After the Ball is Over”, a popular 1891 song written by Charles K. Harris.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 4th of June is “one single petal”. The day that I saw the theme for this week, it was a bright, sunny autumnal day with big blue skies and glorious warm sunshine. I have a large camellia sasanqua hedge in the rear of my garden consisting of six different varieties which is a mass of blooms at present. I went hunting beneath the hedge for fallen petals and came across this Pink Plantation petal, which sitting in the shade, still had dew drops upon it from the crisp morning, sparkling like diamonds. Glistening in the sunlight like it was, the petal put me in mind of Hans Christian Andersen’s faerie tale of “Little Ida’s Flowers” where Ida’s flowers attend a ball every night, thus explaining why every day they grow more and more drooping and bedraggled. I hope you like my choice of one single petal.
Vigorous and fast growing, Camellia Sasanqua “Plantation Pink” is an upright evergreen shrub with masses of large sweetly scented single to semi-double, soft pink flowers and a wonderful centre of golden yellow stamens. The blooms occur over quite a long period between March and June in the Southern Hemisphere which makes them very popular. They are often used for hedges or to cover walls.
This magenta Christmas bauble decorated with white flowers with rainbow pink centres was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the flowers, the larger of the petals which are 10mm and their centres which are 4mm. The flower centres are raised cups and are imported from France. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flowers until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday!” is “reflection on black”.
I thought that this bauble with its colourful magenta colour might look nice against a black background and reflected in a mirror.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
In front of the window, that is why you see the little spots, it's not specks on my lens :)
Happy looking close....on Friday!

The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” on the 19th of March is “white and red”.
After using a pair of beautiful 1:12 size miniature red slippers from my miniatures collection for last week’s “sprinkles” theme, I thought I might use them again, along with a second pair of miniature red slippers and a white parasol for this week’s theme.
Both pairs of shoes are a centimetre in height and length. They are painted and are made of metal. The parasol is five centimetres long and is made of white satin and lace with a bow and a metal handle.

Looking close... on Friday! theme : Dots and Stripes
For this photoshoot, I decided to use the pegs standing up instead of on a line so that the little hearts are in the correct orientation. Since Autumn is my favorite season, the maple leaves here were a natural complement for this picture.
Hope you enjoy!
