Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!
My next entry is a common item, but not always this shape. What is it?

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!
Thank you for the information. Before you buy one of them I must warn you that this way of making tea makes it a bit messy. You have to use really high quality tea otherwise small particles escape from the infuser into the cup. For visually pleasing, beautiful drink bags are better, in my opinion. Taste is another matter: it is a matter of taste/personal preferences.Originally posted by Geoff View PostThanks Svetlana, we got there in the end. I think a tea brewing spoon is a correct name, also called a tea infuser. I looked on Google images, there are many designs of tea infusers. You've given me the idea to buy one then I can use loose tea instead of bags
Geoff.
Sorry about that. I guess I overdid it. I knew a tea brewing spoon was not a common object and not many people had it. To add to the difficulty, mine is very old, I remember it being in my family for as long as I remember myself. I looked on the internet and they were still on sale, so I thought why not?Originally posted by Greytop View Postgosh that was a hard one
I'll try to find more widely familiar objects in future.SvetlanaComment

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!
Not many guesses so far so here is another picture taken from a different angle. As I said before, this is a common item but not always this shape. I didn't realise how coarse the fibres are in this item until I got close to it. They normally feel smooth to the touch.

I thought they were carpet samples in a wooden stand
Now I think they look like paint samples, but I doubt that they are...

Now I think they look like paint samples, but I doubt that they are... Not carpets or paint, much smaller. Each coloured part is approx 12mm wide so my second image is approx 35mm wide. I've noticed that I've got the colour balance wrong but it is not relevent to this object or objects as they can be various colours.

Intriguing, but I haven't got any idea what they or it is.
Some kind of manicure set perhaps??Regards Huw

Another clue, I keep this in my office at home, near to the telephone.

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!
Is it your personal telephone notebook/catalog, the one that when you press one of the colour-coded tabs it springs open on the letter needed?Last edited by Gentle.Ivy; 12-11-11, 11:05 AM.SvetlanaComment
