There are few musical instruments more photogenic than the guitar. From the beautiful wooden tones and grain, to the ornate fretting, and the wonderful contrast of flowing curves and straight lines each is a work of art. So naturally, I reached for the ol' six string for this week's #Macromonday submission for the theme #string.
String, also known as sewing thread. This colour spool of thread I've used for top stitching a quilt. I quite like how it comes across as yarn rather than thread. This is an in-camera stacked image as I wanted all in focus and knew that it wouldn't be because of the curve of the spool.
I've bought a couple of point and shoot cameras for my wife over the last thirty years and they come with a lanyard that attaches to the camera with a loop of nylon string like this.
I used a Canon FD 50mm macro with mounted on an adapter and a one to one extension tube.
Thank you for any faves and comments whether pro or con.

D'après diapositive.
String of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus, sometimes sold as Curio rowleyanus) is a sought-after hanging succulent house plant. Its trailing stems have pea-like leaves that look like beads – hence its common name. In spring, the plant may produce small white, cinnamon-scented flowers.
In the wild, in west Africa, string of pearls sprawls over gravelly, rocky terrain. In the home, it looks lovely hanging from a shelf or planter – it's fast growing and the tendrils can reach 1m long. It's a good choice for beginner or lazy indoor gardeners – the 'beads' store water, so the plant can cope with a bit of neglect and only needs watering every couple of weeks.
All parts of the plant are mildly toxic if ingested, so keep away from children and pets.
I'm so happy with this one, despite the fact that I didn't end up making it as large as I wanted. I really love looking at all the different fabrics I was able to include. Blogged here.
Found these two exceptionally shaped potatoes yesterday at my greengrocers. Here an attempt of a photographical presentation, more to follow.

I never quite understood the reverse lever contraption of tuners. For Marcro Monday I thought it'd be interesting to pull in the texture of the copper strings with the stainless steel of Xanthe's guitar tuners. It also happened to be lying around the office and was a good subject for the day. :) #HMM
