Yellow and Paper
These are yellow and gold quilled paper circles. Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs.
This is part of a model of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. It is made of clear plastic, but the base is iridescent and in the right light this reflects up through the rest of the model tower.

Macro Mondays: Red/Flower or Pink/Flower
The flower is called Red but I think it's more pink :) HMM :)
"Its red flowers make this plant stand out in winter. The flowers are 20mm long, and the pointy leaves are sharp." www.waratahsoftware.com.au/wpr-flora-bluemountains-boroni...
Fluffy, twisted, toy abstract - my contribution to the MM challenge for 21/1/19, theme: Pick Two
I was sure I would be posting some kind of iridescent abstract for this but nothing was working then I saw some left over "props" I had for the white on white challenge and thought "they're fuzzy"

J'ai ressorti ma mallette toute neuve contenant les ustensiles de barbecue. L'imposante brosse métallique a pris la vedette et ne s'est pas gênée de passer devant tous ses collègues pour le shooting du jour. #Macro #MacroMondays #PickTwo #MetallicBrush

Pick Two
I had a hard time deciding which image to post for Macro Mondays. One of my top three choices. This is an iridescent glass paper weight with reflections of the ceiling fan.
HMM! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

My Dad gave me this set of highball cocktail glassware around 1980, after my parents returned from another trip to Japan. A beautiful set of five, never removed from the stylish box. The glasses are hand-painted with iridescent pastel colors. Total height of glass is 4-5/8” tall, with a shining gold rim. Total area shown in photo is just under 3” high. HMM
Macro Mondays theme.
Flower is a variety of hypericum (St Johns Wort). St Johns Wort Oil is used as a herbal remedy for depression. It cheers me up just looking at the flower.
I think the bug is a small, solitary, species of wasp. Maybe it's lonely and depressed !

This is the outside of one of our quarter light windows that had been hit by something in the recent past. As it is toughened glass it has not just fallen to pieces but stays in position, possibly supported by the other pane of the double glazing.
