I've missed the last couple of Macro Mondays challenges and thought I better try harder this week. Fortunately we have been having a massive clearout and I came across a few of my mother-in-laws old paperweights. The challenge for this coming Monday is called “Pick Two” and the rules are quite simple. They have created two lists of words, “List A” and a “List B” and placed 5 words in each list. You will select one word from List A and one word from List B and then take a macro image illustrating the combination of your two chosen words.
List A
1. Iridescent
2. Fuzzy
3. Twisted
4. Damaged
5. Speckled
List B
1. Glass
2. Toy
3. Candy
4. Plant
5. Abstract
I've picked "Iridescent Glass". The paperweight is quite strange. In strong light it is just red but vary the light and the iridescent transparent coating takes over and 'moves' around the surface displaying the gold, pinks and blues that you see above, over the red bubbled interior. Some of my favourite colours in there! What a beauty! (and only 2.5 inches diameter)

Metaphysical Properties Of Opal
Opal is a delicate stone with a subtle vibrational energy. Opal is believed to enhance your cosmic consciousness and strengthen your mystical and psychic visions.
It will inspire originality and boost creativity.

For Macro Mondays Pick Two Curved Pottery. A headpiece that broke off a clay face mask purchased years ago in Costa Rica. Lit with a mix of ambient light, red-filtered flashlight and a LED bulb inserted into the piece where it was broken. Resting on a vest.
A small copper stone that came from Copper Harbor in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. A small part has been cleaned and polished
This is considered "float copper" pieces of this can be picked up when found.
Volcanic activity produced the only strata on Earth where large-scale economically recoverable 97 percent pure native copper is found.
Much of the native copper found in the Keweenaw comes in either the form of cavity fillings on lava flow surfaces, which has a ”lacy” consistency, or as "float" copper, which is found as a solid mass. Copper ore may occur within conglomerate or breccia as void or interclast fillings. The conglomerate layers occur as interbedded units within the volcanic pile.
No idea where this little truck came from but I've had it for years. It's a French breakdown truck but alas it has broken down. From it's missing light on top to the paint chips and missing tow cable it;s fair to say it has seen better days. Oh well, at least its condition meant it got to be showcased here :-) HMM!
My effort for Macro Mondays on the theme of Pick Two. Delicate Pottery - my wife's dragons have delicate ears like this little chap who has lost one..
Macro Mondays theme januari 21th: Pick Two : Fuzzy - Toy
I found this little hedgehog in the cat-toy department of the pet-shop a while bag. It was looking at me and I just had to take it home. For the cat off-course :-)
For the Macro Theme Pick Two, this is Striped Insect. The bee is about 1/2 inch long and the lavender bud not quite two inches in length
Photo taken for the June 14, 2021 Macro Mondays theme: pick two. My choices were striped + brush.
I think the bristles came this way...although the rust is not from the factory. ;)
The bristles are approx. 1" across.
Star Wars Chewbacca "Bottle Cruncher Dog Toy"... ;-)

Pick Two
I had a hard time deciding which image to post for Macro Mondays. One of my top three choices. This is twisted branches of a trailing plant in a hanging basket.
HMM! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Macro Mondays - Pick Two (Damaged and Glass)
A piece of broken aquarium glass (about 3 cm or 1 inch). Additional light is a small LED pen flash.
The two words I have chosen are Damaged/Toy.
Our cat Misty has had great fun in attacking this little toy; and as you can see one of its hands is missing and its legs are severely damaged too!
