Macro Mondays: Bathroom

My dentist's office displays artwork in each of the exam rooms. They consist of a single painting on the wall facing the patient. Mostly abstract and of little interest to me. One room however has a wonderfully detailed scene of quaint houses on a quiet back street. The setting is early evening and the artist did a remarkable job of conveying the moodiness of the twilight hour. There are lights on inside the homes, and smoke rising languidly from the chimneys. There's a cat out on someone's front porch. It's quite an immersive scene for me. It puts me at ease and takes my mind off of the clinical setting. I have a weird habit of imagining myself into scenes like this; of somehow interacting with the place that exists only in two dimensions. I would like to walk the cold village streets; smell the chimney smoke. Maybe pet the cat. It's always a disappointment when they put me into a different room and I don't get to experience that painting.

There are places in my real world that speak to me like that painting. Sometimes the reasons are obvious. But often I have no clue. It's really just a feeling. This is one of those places. I often pause here when riding my bicycle. It sits on the boundary between woodland and open meadow. This is high ground and it's always windy here. Everything is parched, bleached and drab this time of year. But that only adds to the attraction. Like the dentist's painting, it pulls me in every time.

Here's hoping my next exam goes a little better than this one! ;-)

I've been making 5x7 Coptic stitch journals using advertisements from 1920s dental journals for well over a year now and I still love the look of these - the ads, the images, the text. This particular journal has an ad for impression trays on the cover and smaller text ads on the back cover. And it's up on Etsy!: brooklynbookbinder.etsy.com

Fancy high-tech toothbrush for the Macro Mondays group, theme “My Daily Routine.” For my daily routine at least I get to brush my teeth inside my mouth instead of taking them out of a glass by the bed. HMM!

Dental schwag for the Macro Mondays challenge, Swag.

These days about the only swag I get is from the dentist. Every visit nets a "swag bag" with tiny dental items. Area shown is about 50mm. Happy Macro Monday!

I use floss with a leader, I like how it can go between my teeth. It looks so wide in this photo, but to the naked eye it's very tiny.

"I might be movin' to Montana soon / Just to raise me up a crop of / Dental Floss

Raisin' it up / Waxen it down / In a little white box / That I can sell uptown

By myself I wouldn't / Have no boss, / But I'd be raisin' my lonely / Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely / Dental Floss"
