Assembling everything to make a Japanese temari ball, I guess that this is in fact the basic 'toolkit' that you need.
Big or small you need a 'core' ball around which you work. A needle and many, many pins - then the yubinuki (finger rings that act like a thimble) and very small and precise scissors. And then a paper strip guide (to fit the ball for size) and only then can you choose the colour threads you want to use to weave the pattern.

They wavy patterns on the stones is called slump bedding, it occurs when the wet sand that formed the rocks was being covered by more sediment, the water in it was able to escape upwards, distorting the bedding surfaces.

If I'm right, I believe this is a Japanese Thimble Plant. I like the way the stem leads to the flower.

Unlike most islands in Long Island Sound, the Thimbles are composed of erosion resistant pink granite. Granite from the nearby Stony Creek quarry in Branford was used in the base of the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Terminal, the Brooklyn Bridge and numerous mansions in NYC and Newport, RI.

My best guess is Campanula rotundifolia (Witches' Thimble, Lady's Thimble, Witches' Bells, Harebell, Bluebell Bellflower, Bluebell Of Scotland), growing in the Rock Garden, at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, New Zealand.
Although these are often called thimbles or bells, the way they hang down like this puts me in mind of a lamp post.
According wikipedia, the thimble origin could have been from the time of the Han Dynasty (206BC - 202AD) and subsequently, diggings were found along the Silk Road...
Shoot for MM. I used CZJ Tessar 50mm with a bunch of focusing helicoids. This one is SOOC JPEG, no crop, sharpening, additional contrast or any other in camera or post-processing modifications applied.
This is supposed to be around 3.5:1 macro.
Some cool purple thing I found in a dry riverbed. I don't remember ever seeing this flower before, and I'm pretty good at noticing things like this. aka Globe Gilia.
Despite not having a practical bone in my body, for some reason I enjoy photographing sewing bits and pieces. This is a nickel silver thimble (by Charles Iles) from the 1900s. Nickel silver actually contains no silver at all, but is a range of alloys of copper, nickel, and zinc, which give it a silvery appearance. The button in the background dates from the same period and is made from brass and steel.

NYR #2 - Organize Closets. I found thimble collection and more sewing supplies than I could ever use. And I don't even sew except for replacing a button And that usually involves bloodshed and colorful language. :)

In old English folklore, there existed a ceremonial custom of whispering poems inside a thimble as a way of preserving and honouring the spoken word.
Poets and bards would gather together in a dimly lit room, surrounded by flickering candles and hushed silence. One poet would bring with them a thimble, typically made of silver or gold, which they would carefully pass around the circle.
When the thimble reached each poet, he would take a deep breath and whisper a poem, sonnet, or verse that they had crafted specifically for the occasion. The belief behind this tradition was that by whispering the words into the thimble, they would be imbued with a special kind of power that would make them more meaningful and long-lasting. The thimble was seen as a kind of vessel for the poem, protecting it from being lost or forgotten over time.
Once each poet had whispered their poem into the thimble, it was passed to the next person in the circle, until every poem had been captured. Finally, the thimble would be placed on a small altar, where it would be carefully guarded and protected as a sacred object.
It was believed that by whispering the words into the thimble, they would be preserved for future generations, ensuring that the stories and traditions of the past would never be forgotten.
