MacroMonday : Oil On Water
I had never tried this before but it was really fun.
And I learned some things, like not all oils are the same,
probably should have had more light below and less on the oil,
and last but not least, this should probably be done alone
because when your knees get tried from crouching over
the set up and you pull up the recycling bin to sit on,
well, you look pretty foolish when you fall into it.
So it goes. HMM everyone! ;-)

Photo taken looking straight down.
I see a toy with a smiling face with a Santa Fe decal stuck to its teeth just as I saw my electric trains when my mother gave them to me, but it's actually now a working Lionel Santa Fe Double Diesel Train Set 027 from 1956 and a collector's item.
«L'amore è per definizione un dono non meritato; anzi, l'essere amati senza merito è la prova del vero amore [...] Quanto è più bello sentirsi dire: sono pazza di te sebbene tu non sia né intelligente né onesto, sebbene tu sia bugiardo, egoista e mascalzone!».
Milan Kundera, “La lentezza”
Ready for the Day
Every morning, I whip a lot of my favorite soap and wash my face. This is whipped safflower soap. I shot this photo in the bathroom.
the macromondays' theme for today, 12/17, is #safety devices--
this is a sewing ripper with its cover
there are 8 possibilities today-- i think my favorites are the simplicity of faux tea light and the sparkle of golden hasp clasp. think i'll have a bit of coffee while i cogitate. the macromonday album of postings and possibilities is here:
A frozen cube of ginger.......ginger (I am told) can reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, alleviate nausea, assist digestion and other things. I don't necessarily drink ginger tea for those reasons -I just like a ginger and honey drink. The way I make it is to peel the ginger and whiz it in a blender with water so that it it's 'grated'. Strain it and fill 1 in square ice cube trays with the grated ginger. Freeze the trays and once frozen bag them up. Then, when I want a drink it 's easy to take a cube from the freezer - drop it in the cup infuser and pour over boiling water. The tumbler here is 7cm (2 3/4 ins) in diameter.
