Metallic Insect

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.

Happy Macro Monday.

Pick Two.

Candy - Licorice

For Macro Mondays - Pick Two - My choice is Twisted/Plant...and almost Abstract ;-)

This is a tendril of passionflower (5 cm).

Macro Mondays - Pick Two

I chose to use my colorful collection of candy canes to create a Twisted Candy image for the theme this week. HMM

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

All I could get into three inches.

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

A little ceramic pottery (diameter about 4 cm) and two delicious small pieces of nectarine made my "delicate pottery"

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.

-"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.

Macro Mondays "Pick two" "Striped stone"

For Macro Mondays challenge this week I went with spiny caterpillar which is curved and is an insect, which just happened to be hanging out where I was doing some yard work.

If you fav this photo please leave a comment as to why you like it, thanks in advance.

Taken in the butterfly house at London Zoo and uploaded for Macro Mondays "Pick two" theme.

As seems to be the way of late, I find myself plunging headlong towards midnight with a fuzzy and twisted brain, hoping I don't lose my glass slipper on the way to the coach which is about to turn into a pumpkin.

Having gone round and round with this two-pronged theme today, this is finally it. You can guess the two words I chose, no doubt, but I'll tell you anyway just to be crystal clear: Iridescent + Abstract, which equals an obvious choice for me of one of my many found objects - a feather. Australian birds have a habit of being luminously bright, which is convenient. All those reddy oranges and greeny blues and yellowy yellows.

Oh no, the midnight hour approaches so enough babble and on with the rest. HMM everyone!
