    The most basic items seem to be forgotten, unless formed or sewn into a recognizable garment. We see here, though, that a pile of the small items have an artistic quality. One is not much, however many are remarkable!

    Great macro mix.
    I had to google sequin.
    I wasn't able to identify the word by the picture. "Paljett" is the Norwegian word, so far away from common English. I very much connect sequins with my daughter's Barbie Dolls from the early nineties.
    Some of them were actually quite beautiful.
    I guess from the colors that your daughter's work turned out nicely too.

    Are you enjoying the extension tubes? They are on my list but a speedlight comes first.

    I love the sequins! I don't actually usually like sequins, but the macro shot, taking them out of context, is nice. :)

    I love how simple things can become items of great beauty when viewed thru the camera lens with an artist's eye!

    This should be the header on a design blog. So very cool.

    Hey Robin!

    New equipment is such fun, isn't it? That's a pretty amazing shot of such tiny little sequins. I like the idea of using that for a craft blog header.

    I feel like I could reach through the screen and pick one up! Great perspective on a close-in world that most others would simply miss.

    Then again, you have an eye that few others possess.

    Sequins! They could almost be flowers.
    Pretty.

    Very pretty!
    But let me guess: You've been spending the past few days picking up all the sequins which fell off the project... :-)

    Shavua tov!
