Happy birthday, my dear wife...!

[We'll play with a paper plane,

being so occuped with our paper problems...]

 

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Torn Paper.

 

Remembering back to an art class in college, the professor wanted to teach us how to train our eyes to see Grayscale. So he asked us to simply tear out 10 pieces of paper from a newspaper and arrange them according to their intensity value, then glue them onto black construction paper.

 

Nowadays, all my newspapers have color pictures, so I used an old magazine that was already cut up. Now, I always have a Grayscale reference! If you try it, don't forget to play with the scraps, too! HMMM!

HSS!

For Macro Mondays. I was attempting to get a neatly made coil of paper, but found it more difficult than I anticipated. I squashed many and then found they unrolled too fast but I didn't want any paper clips to be seen. So something that should have been simple took several goes. I am trying to learn to be patient!

For some of my dear friends on Flickr, who don't fold and are curious of how the folding takes place, I decide to photograph some steps, to reveil "the secret", no just kidding ;-), it's really so nice to know you are interested.

First I cut out a hexagon out of a piece of paper, sometimes out of a square, sometimes out of a rectangle and then I start to make/fold the division of the grid that I need. This is somewhere in between......I still have to do a lot.

I used very thin paper with plenty of fiber, as you can see.... there is a very big one........ Because I wanted to see if I could tessellate this kind of paper...., always like a challenge........ to be continued.

For the Macro mondays' theme "Just white paper"

The rolled paper is shot from above - it is on a tray table with a translucent top - the flash is below the table.

These are 3" x 3" Post-It Notes that have been rolled in half and held together with a paper clip. The light source is a large window at the top left. The 3 main circle-top areas are less than 1.5" total width, so the estimated total width is less than 2.5" W. It's fun to turn the paper and adjust the camera to see numerous views of the same subject. Plus, the super macro lens allows me to get very close to the subject, and the depth-of-field is extremely shallow. This lens blurs the background at f/8.0 or less, but unfortunately doesn't record the depth-of-field in the EXIF data. I'm guessing this is f/4.0 or lower. I'm a rookie with this lens and have plenty to learn. But, I like that it allows me to think "outside the box". In other words, it's fun.

 

Please have a great day.....

Last week I shot for a restaurant, a real estate broker and a bank so I really need a "just for fun" project. This is clearly just for fun.

Most of us would have experienced the unpleasant paper cut. So for this week's challenge, I fashioned a piece of paper to resemble a knife and cut up some chillies on a glass Petri dish. Not the sharpest of knife but I managed to get some chilli stains on it!

Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves...it is always appreciated..

Found this paper rose at a local nursery and decided to share it with my Flickr friends.

 

"Paper Roses" was a top five hit in 1960 for Anita Bryant. Marie Osmond recorded it in 1973 when she was just 13 years old and took her version to number one on the US country chart.

Playing with coloured paper and scissors to try to create some paper art.

 

The cuttings are 4cm at their widest and so should fit within the groups requirements.

 

Happy Macro Monday 🌸

Thank you very much for your visit and for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!

Paper wasps (Polistes sp.) get their common name from the paper-like material out of which they make their nests. Paper wasps are sometimes called umbrella wasps, after the shape of their distinctive nests.

Inaturalist says "umbrella paper wasp", Polistes sp. These and the long-legged flies are about the only things we see flying around the gardens these days...
