PhotoHunter: tiny

I had difficulty thinking of anything at all but here are my offerings.


guineafowl

A ceramic guinea fowl (pintade in French) with a tiny head. We bought it about 10 years ago, at Les Céramiques de Lussan who appear to be making them still. We have ours looking out of the window normally, very similar to their illustration, but the reflection on the glass was too much, so I moved it to take the picture.

A tiny dish.

apple

It isn't until you put something in it that you realise just how tiny. It may not be terribly useful but it's pretty.

tiny beads

And last, but not least, my favourite bookmark made with tiny beads.

I sometimes think I could write a thesis on bookmarks. I've used everything from old, torn tickets to silver ones which you clip on to the pages. This was given as a present several years ago, and it's perfect. It's fine enough that the pages of the book can lie relatively flat, but it isn't too flimsy. The beads, although individually tiny, together have enough weight to stay in place well.

  13. Great pics. I do like the little bowl. I suppose it could get expensive if you buy a lot of apples!

    Happty weekend.

    Oh yes we have loads of buddelias here too. They seem to llove the local railway lines the best. I would ahve half a mind to suggest that the rail company renames the line from Liverpool Street station in London out to Essex the "Buddelia Line"
