Having no colorful magnets of my own, I enlisted my 4 yr old Granddaugher to help build a "Magna-Tile" mansion.
With social distancing in place, we needed to skype her creation.
Each shape, triangle, rectangle, square, is magnetized and different structures can be built.

Magnets
Different configurations of collected steel sculptural forms. Two being magnetic allowing for reconfiguration at the whim of the owner/curator. The diameter of the round base is about 200mm.
Macro Mondays: Magnetic
The little hockey puck-looking magnet is 0.5" in diameter. The miniature screw is 0.25" long.
Macro Mondays theme: Magnetic
Crystal snakes dancing on magnetic pin holder. I spent more time disentangling one of these wires from a hairnet in my junk drawer than I spent on the entire project, including 40 odd pictures of other magnets. These wires covered in crystal beads used to be coat hangers inside of miniature Christmas jumpers. They lost their shape when I removed them to use the jumpers on dolls (see picture in comments).

Saturday Self Challenge
The topic for next challenge is magnets. You can show the magnet itself or the effects of a magnet on another item. Light processing is fine, just make sure the magnet or its effects are visible.
When the challenge was posted I had a wander around the house looking for inspiration. I walked into my husbands work shop and spotted that he’d placed some magnets of various sizes, and in various conditions, on the front of a couple of the old metal drawers which contain all sorts of stuff. I rearranged them a little and added some combination spanners for effect, I know it all seems a bit messy but it wouldn’t have looked like a workshop if everything was sparkling clean.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Fridge Magnet for Macro Monday's RED what a wonderfully colourful site it is this week, HMM everyone.
I recycle used eyeglass cases, many of which have magnetic fasteners. I set the magnets aside hoping to find some future use for them. Today, I have put them to use for the MM theme.
The question was how to display them since as a group they all want to stick together and it was an uninteresting assembly. Then my eyes landed on my glass tumbler full of paper clips and so what you see is a few of these tiny magnets clinging to the side of the glass container.
Yeah, The Beatles Fridge Magnets.. again... this time, I opened the back door to get some natural light in, without any of the reflections that artificial light can bring...
Amtrak 28, the Empire Builder's Portland section, rolls east through the Columbia River Gorge near Stevenson, Washington. After thirty plus years of driving by this shot on SR-14, I finally decided to try this angle.
Next summer, I'm coming out here on June 21st.

"Mentre sanguina la vita.
Tra le palme e i sushi bar.
Ricopriamo le ferite col cerone delle star.
È una notte da star male in questo immenso Luna Park!"

My wife loves to collect fridge magnets and this is just some of her collection. They of course cover the many places here in Australia and overseas we have visited on our annual holidays over many years that have meant so much to us since we were married. Those of you who know me will understand by the delight I take photographing our time away and uploading it to flickr. And we all love our holidays, don't we?
The years we missed through sickness serve to underline the importance and joy we get on our holidays and indeed the times we spent with our daughter before she grew up and became independent.
We would normally have made reservations by now but a string of medical issues and you could say developing fears about what seemed to be unfolding in our world had me holding back.
Sadly, owing to geopolitical and economic circumstances about which you will all have read and feared and predictions of a rout on the Australian Stock Exchange tomorrow, there is significant risk to our retirement savings and indeed the superannuation and investments of most people in Australia and also around the world. The risk of a global recession has been increased to 60+%, probably worse than when COVID rolled out. So sadly, out of an abundance of caution, our plans for holidays and some new magnets this year have been cancelled at least for now. In the meantime, we will just roll with the punches like everyone else. What can I say? Comments disabled I hope. Best wishes everyone, the ride ahead may be rough and dirty.
i got the nicest email from luckyduckdesignson etsy asking if she could feature my magnets on her blog! i LOVE etsy and all the fabulous people i have met there!!! :-)
here is the link to her blog.
Now I told you so you ought to know
(Oh) it takes some time for a feelin' to grow
(Oh) but you're so close now I can't let you go
(Oh) and I can't let go
With you I'm not shy, to show the way I feel
With you I might try, my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
I can hope that I'll hold you for long
(Oh) you're a woman who's lost to your song
(Oh) but the love that I feel is so strong
(Oh) and it can't be wrong
With you I'm not shy, to show the way I feel
With you I might try, my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
With you I'm not shy, to show the way I feel
With you I might try, my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel

Locust Borer Longhorn Beetle – 2020OCT02 – Charlotte, NC
I went to harvest goldenrod for goldenrod tea, finding in the bountiful blossoms a breathtaking bonus: a beauteous beetle!
Spectacular arrays of brilliant yellow flowers attract throngs of insects intent on collecting and consuming the nutritious large and rather sticky pollen from myriads of small flowers on each plant, a magnet for late summer and early autumn insects, this wasp-striped longhorn beetle among the most eye-catching, especially important to it as a mimic (Batesian mimicry, something harmless imitating something dangerous): looks like a bee or a wasp but cannot sting.
Many insects, like this locust borer, try very hard to imitate bees (called bee mimics) and wasps, and do a surprisingly good job of it!
Hope you enjoy this 25% of 213 captures I took here this day!

Macro Mondays
Theme: Intended Contact
November 5, 2018 (GMT - or whatever time it is)
The magnet is used to contact the surface of the refrigerator and hold notes or photos in place. Our time zone "changed times" last night; I thought every thing in our home that was not going to auto change had been set. The note was written this afternoon when I was working on the image for this week's theme. It was like, "oh, wow - you have not set the time in the cameras."
If this image disappears from the Macro Mondays group it is because my time and the group time won't fit. I had fun doing it and at least I now have my camera's time fixed. Happy Macro Mondays.

Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments.
Traded to drewzel. Vintage image from online and vintage text make up this collage magnet. If you haven't joined the Swap and Trade Crafty Goodness group, why don't you do that now? We're going to be trading some fun stuff, so get on board now! :D
I had some crafty time today and made more magnets using the vintage buttons from grandma's button jar.
