Wicker-made objects are popular tourist buys in many African countries. When we moved back to the U.K. from Kenya in 1990, we brought with us several mats that we had been using in our house there. That means that this mat is well over 30yrs old but still looks like it was bought last week!
Wicker is a very resilient, sturdy and pliable natural plant material and the most common source in Kenya is banana leaves but it can be made from many parts of plants.
The spiral pattern that is used to make them is very common! For Crazy Tuesday - theme ‘Spiral’.
During our time in Bled, we also visited Ljubljana and went up to the rooftop bar on the Nebotičnik skyscraper to get some coffee. When we walked into the building I noticed the staircase next to the elevators and hence I took a few images of this nice spiral. Hope you like it!

My friend and I went on a photo walk and visited the Mill No. 5 in Lowell, Massachusetts. Built in 1873, the building has been repurposed and has lots of interesting unique, vintage, and retro stores.

Spiral:
A curve on a plane that winds around a fixed center point at a continuously increasing or decreasing distance from the point.
A three-dimensional curve that turns around an axis at a constant or continuously varying distance while moving parallel to the axis; a helix. Source the American Heritage Dictionary.
Object : 2" metal spring.
This week’s Macro Monday's theme is 'SPIRAL—which may be described as “a continuous and gradually widening (or tightening) curve, either around a central point on a flat plane or about an axis so as to form a cone...”'
After taking multiple sets of photos — tiny seashells, small spiral notebook ends — for this #spiral theme, I chose this cyclamen bud ready to unfurl. Less than 0.5 inches / 1.27 centimeters.
The true spiral appears at the bottom of the bud, but that's alarmingly too small to see and capture without a microscope.
Thanks for looking, for your faves, and for your comments.

This necklace belonged to my mother. I found a similar one advertised on Etsy that was described as vintage '50's. I'm not sure mine is that old but it's possible. : )

I created a spiral of various screws standing on their heads on a small oak block. I had a red T-shirt in the background, so the screws would pick up a bit of red. I chose to use only the ambient light coming through the windows to the left of the frame, to minimize the flaring on the shiny metal surfaces. HMM
All these shells were collected from beaches all over the UK when I was a child. The only requirement was they had to fit in the neck of an old bottle - narrower than a wine bottle. The bottle is full of every colour and shape. The smallest here is only about 2mm long.
A shape seen quite often in marine life.

Good week
This spiral staircase at the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick is a bit odd as it's made as an oval instead of completely circular.
