A Ball of Colour (+PiP)

A Ball of Colour (+PiP)
The awful weather had me staying indoors and reaching for the macro lens today..............and trying to introduce a bit of colour into a dull day..!!

If you don't know what the "ball" is made from..........check out the unravelled version in the PiP.

I wish you all a good week ahead. Thanks for looking :-)

Wunderbare kräftig leuchtende Farben. Mit besonderem Geschick angefertigtes Knäuel. Ein tolles Stillleben. Durch die Makroaufnahme bekommt das Motiv einen stärkeren Ausdruck.

We were pretty lucky way down here on the south coast and missed most of the storm, apart from some high winds and rain.

Glad you like this one Peter............the ball is made of ladies hair bands.

Thank you for your visit and nice comments.

Sounds bleak and grim there. At least you keep yourself well occupied, Keith. I so love your inventiveness and whimsy. Stay warm. Summer here….sometimes too warm, so I skulk indoors at times too..D

You did great, no ball inside to give the right shape ?

Thank you Isabel........glad you like it.

I bought the ball exactly how you see it in the main photo. I stripped it down for the PiP and found that the bands were wrapped around a small ball made of polystyrene.
