I used to play this game with my Granny many years ago. I found an identical version in a charity shop... same box depicting Chinese lanterns etc and the brightly coloured plastic pieces in side. Starting from triangle bases, arranged around a star, each player has to get their 10 pieces to the opposite side. In straight lines you can hop over the opponents pieces... get it well timed and it can look impressive. I would like a heavy wooden version of this game, but, like the one my granny had, this is cardboard.
Lit from beneath by placing the board minus its surround, on a clear acrylic box and directing flash underneath it. There is about two inches of the board here. HMM
There is more to this collection and every piece in a shade of some color but I chose to bring them in black and white
Macro Mondays Theme: "Board game pieces"
Lens: Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Macro + 36mm KENKO Extension Tube / cropped to MM specs.
The inspiration: Growing up, this game always ended in a toxic fight.
This is shot in camera with the Monopoly piece on a cut out square in front of cut out triangles in the fold of a black paper on glass. bottom lit with LED with green gel.
I love finding coloured pieces of glass in 2nd hand shops, and these are some of the purple ones - plus a lovely purple mug, that doesn't show up so well in this light :-)

Yes, as you can see, "Bedford Drab" really was the name of a Dewhurst Sylko Cotton thread. Only the British could make drab sound so elegant!
When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case, the wonderfully delicate vintage laces from the 1930s comes from my own collection of antique notions. I have accessorised them on a 1930s embroidered tablecloth with a Dewhurst's Sylko Sand reel of cotton and a Bedford Drab reel of cotton which date from between 1938 and 1954.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
Magnetic hematite stones on the Jishaku (Japanese word for magnet) game board. For the Looking Close on Friday challenge: "game pieces."
Jishaku is a portable strategy game like chess or checkers that can be played anywhere. Unlike chess, there is an element of surprise when the magnets jump out of position without warning. All magnets have north and south poles. Jishaku magnets do too. They just aren't marked and the irregular shape of the hematite stones make locating them difficult. So as you carefully place your magnet in a hole you can feel the tug of magnets all around the board. Skilled players learn to use magnetic force in their favor repelling the magnets closest to them without forcing them into other magnets. At least that's the goal but the results can be quite surprising. It's pretty fun but can be down right frustrating at times.

when I write notes for my clients, I like to write them out on scraps of pretty Japanese paper. Yup-- I still actually write. With a pen.
Hit 'L' to view on large.
This was a permission visit after sunrise.
A revisit to a local scrapyard that had loads of barn finds and salvage vehicles. Due to the council and environmental changes, a lot of the stuff had to be removed but there were some bits n pieces left in the buildings.

Details of me.. Love the shot.
It is me by a very dear friend.
I go off the rails every chance that I'm given
Is it worth my life if it means I might fit in?
I look at the wounds that I choose to inflict
While I hold my tongue and I tighten my grip
