David Bouquet London watch, Blois France case (circa 1650) - gold, silver and enamels with lovers and cupid
- a gift from Clare (but not made by her) who brought it back from a trip downtown to Glasgow with Ray when I stayed behind in her flat for a small siesta (I'm quite expert at such!)

Macro Mondays: ring
I have photographed the ring on one of my scarves....
Part of a necklace bought in Paris, in a very small shop, near Sacre Coeur many years ago. The only trinkets I normally buy on holiday is cheapish jewellery.
Macro Mondays theme - trinket. Cropped to fit the size.

Some good old household names shown here...and a six penny aspirin machine...I am old, but even I don't remember these!
Possibly part of a beaver skull. From the google: Bright Orange Enamel: The front incisors have a thick layer of iron-rich orange to reddish-orange enamel on the front surface.No Canines: There are no canines. Instead, there is a large, toothless gap (the diastema) between the front incisors and the back cheek teeth.Flat Cheek Teeth: The molars and premolars are flat with distinct ridges (loopy patterns) for grinding tough woody material.

This aturns out to be best with the colors in which I found the original by Hal Tenny on Deviant Art. See www.deviantart.com/art/Pipe-World-195354261 for his image which is probably rather better than mine except that I specifically wanted the change in size. It is fascinating that any formula should produce such a modular coaxial cable system trimmed out with a quite tasteful enamel pattern in blue and yellow.
Macro Monday Jewelry
I made this copper enameled pin one summer when my parents let me take an art class at a local high school. I think I was about 12. I loved the class and everything we did in it. After I finished the 4 copper enameled projects, I never made another piece. Still one of my favorite pieces of jewelry!!!
I'm afraid I'm not feeling hugely inspired at the moment, so here's another button from my collection. It dates from the late 19th Century and it's quite large at 1½" across. The button is leaning against a (barely visible) vintage Sylko cotton reel and I added in a few of my trusty Hydrangea flowers for good measure.

Coming to the end of this series now...a couple more to go. They have been well received by my contacts, but not so by the general Flickr audience...which to be honest, is a pale shadow of what it once was. Still...we persevere.

Detail of the edge of the lid of an enamelled cast iron Le Creuset casserole.
A little retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life — somewhere to relax and put your feet up with a good book, a fresh pot of coffee and some fruit cake. A few wild flowers add to the tranquility (blue Viper's Bugloss and pink valerian).

For Crazy Tuesday
Theme: Container & Its Contents
A series of pictures showing some of these iconic signs of an earlier age.Many copies are obtainable, mostly "aged" with a slightly damaged and rusted appearance, but originals like the ones in this series are increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
Some show ads for cigarettes, etc...these would certainly be banned today.
Detail of a 60's enamel tray. i thought the design would be fun to work in hand embroidery. feel free to use the pics for your own inspiration.
