For Macro Mondays "pick two" theme - Blue Bottlecap

Toy Project Day 1796

To create a lustre finish, metallic oxides are applied to the pottery then fired.

All I could get into three inches.

For Macro Mondays and Pick Two.

This week's Macro Mondays theme is to pick two, one from each list.

The colours:

Red

Blue

Yellow

Pink

The items:

Flower

Bottle Cap

Paper

Pen

...and combine them in a macro photo. This is a thin, cellophane-like, translucent paper that made folding difficult for me. All one hue, but the lights make it look like many.

About 4cm /1.5 inches across.

My husband prefers this one. He isn't keen on abstract or bokeh balls.

Thanks for looking.

Liquorice or licorice is the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra from which a sweet flavour can be extracted. The liquorice plant is an herbaceous perennial legume native to southern Europe and parts of Asia, such as India. I love it too.

Weekly theme in Macro Mondays

my words = red + bottle cap

Macro Mondays: pick two

metallic insect or jagged insect 😉 my second choice for the theme #PickTwo in #MacroMondays

The rose chafer is not only metallic but also jagged. Beware of the legs! 😉 See Judy ? It's really a suit of armor :D

Cetonia aurata, called the rose chafer or the green rose chafer, is a beetle, 20 millimetres (3⁄4 in) long, that has a metallic structurally coloured green

- for Flickr group 'Macro Mondays', theme: 'Pick Two

-"striped/jagged/delicate pottery"

-This box with lid, made by artist Anneke Schuurmans, we bought at an art exibition in 1991.

Width is 5cm. The blue in the bokeh are Iris sibirica "Perry's Blue".

-This pottery is so called Raku ware.

The Raku technique is essentially when glazed ceramics are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot and are then placed in a material that would be able to catch fire, such as sawdust or newspaper. This technique is used to starve the piece of oxygen, which creates a myriad of colors within the glaze. Raku firing without glaze on them means that the oxygen is taken from the clay itself rather than a glaze, which results in some areas having a matte black coloring.

Raku firing creates completely unique pieces as there is never a certainty as to how the final piece will turn out. Raku essentially creates a unique design every time, so there is less control on the outcome.

Striped insect for the theme MM

Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.

Satisfies a double worded theme "Pick Two" for this week's Macro Mondays: #Delicate and #Insect.

The photo has been cropped to fit within the 3 inches or 7.6 centimeters size limit.

The sharpness was pushed too far as evidenced by the white line around the butterfly against the pale grey column.

This little guy let me take a few photos while it clung to the tip of a blade of grass.

For MM, Pick 2: Curved Insect

Delicate Pottery: we bought this wall hanging plant pot at a craft fair in Prince Georges County in Maryland several years ago. I've always been fascinated with all of the delicate detail it has. If you would like to see the entire piece there is a photo of it in my photostream. HMM everyone!

... curved brush. This brush looks deadly painful but it provides the most enjoyable head massage whilst shampooing your hair

Chinese beer ❤️ red bottlecap, i beware it for many years to remember a good time

E.T. like Curved Stone taken for Macro Mondays with Vega 11U EL.

A beautiful damselfly in the early hours ... such a delicate insect deserves a macro picture. The damselflies come into action as soon as the sun warms them. Meanwhile, they rest quietly in the greenery, waiting for the first rays of sunlight. Love them
