Looking close... on Friday! theme : A Flower's Backside
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
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.
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.

The Easter Bunny can be traced back to Thirteenth Century, pre-Christian Germany, where people worshiped several gods and goddesses. The Teutonic deity Eostra was the goddess of spring and fertility, and feasts were held in her honor on the Vernal Equinox. Her symbol was the rabbit because of the animal’s high reproduction rate. In the Eighteenth Century, the tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws” also came out of Germany.
Easter Eggs represent the birth of new life, and it’s believed that decorating eggs for Easter also dates back to the Thirteenth Century. Hundreds of years ago, churches had their congregations abstain from eggs during Lent, allowing them to be consumed again on Easter.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 8th of April is “eggs in black and white” as we draw nearer to Easter 2022. Therefore, I am celebrating with Peter Rabbit, who whilst not the Easter Bunny, is a well loved character from my childhood. "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, published in 1901, that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he gets into, and is chased around, the garden of Mr. McGregor. This Peter Rabbit egg-shaped lidded tin was a gift from a friend Easter two years ago. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile

Our family has always loved Janosch's Tiger and Bear stories. So one year I painted some scenes of this book "Oh wie schön ist Panama" on Easter eggs.
Here are three of them.

Looking close... on Friday! theme : Food Peels
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
On a fresh morning, while the grass pelouse was still heavy with dew, I discovered a tiny spiderweb — no larger than a 50‑cent coin — just a few centimeters above the ground, stretched delicately between a handful of grass blades. The droplets rested like little crystals on the fragile threads, each one a world of its own. It was a chance encounter, a quiet moment that begged to be captured. I grabbed my macro lens and took the photo before the sun could melt the scene away. A small web, a great wonder.
Looking close ... on Friday!
“There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” on the 12th of February is “roses”. I thought this perfect “Black Magic” rose bloom with her velvety petals, taken in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne, was the right choice. I think she is very beautiful, and represents the shape, form and rich colour that make roses such a favourite flower.
The “Black Magic” rose is loved worldwide for its fascinating deep, dark red, almost black coffee coloured velvety petals and continuous flowering. The blooms are a classic rose shape with a high pointed centre. “Black Magic” is one of very few red roses to produce excellent blooms during our hot summers. “Black Magic” was bred and introduced by Tantau in 1997. Rosen Tantau, located in Northern Germany, has been breeding roses successfully for more than a century. One of its specialties is the creation of Hybrid Tea Roses suitable for the garden and cut flower industry. Black Magic has become very popular around the world as one of the best deep red roses which is relatively disease resistant and produces many quality flowers throughout the entire season.
The St Kilda Botanical Gardens are a very beautiful place to visit, not least for all for their wonderful array of roses found in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden. The site of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens were established in the 1800's. The municipal council petitioned the Department of Lands and Survey to make this segment of land bordered by Dickens Street, Tennyson Street and Blessington Street a Botanic Garden. The gardens were formally established in 1859 when a boundary fence was erected. By 1907 significant donations of money and plant material had led to the establishment of a rosary, extensive flower beds and a nursery. Exotic forest trees were planted during the 1870s and Australian species were included in 1932. In the 1950s the Alister Clarke Rose Garden was established and a Sub-Tropical Rain-forest conservatory added in the early 1990's.

There are many different varieties of quartz that have different colors due to different impurities. Amethyst, citrine, rose quartz and smoky quartz are some examples.
