I love texture. And I have always been drawn to objects that indicate they have a history. My photography professor would refer to it as "decay", which technically may be true, but I find that term to be too yucky. I prefer distressed, weathered, having a story, having a history etc. The story here is simply that our water is hard. It wrecks everything-eventually. This is the base of our coffee maker, the part the pot sits on. (Please disregard the coffee overspill along the edge that I have not yet cleaned up) This is probably our 5th maker since 2002. I don't know. Maybe that's normal. But the build up/break down on the heater seat here, "distressed" as it is, is so very beautiful to me. I want to recreate this somehow. I think it would be beautiful on clay, polymer and/or earth, paper, beaded beads...............
It looks very topographical to me. And a little like the solar system. Sigh. I
REALLY REALLY REALLY want a whole day to play. Does this happen
before kindergarten? Seriously?

These shots are interesting and very full of texture! At first I thought it was going to be a picture of a piece of Jasper.

I lpve texture too...that coffee base would make a great background for photos...eg with jewellery on it etc. I am always on the look out for something like that ...lucky you! Not so good about the water though!

What a great shot! I never would have guessed what the subject matter was. I need to look at things around the house in a different way. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYes, would be a great "texture" piece, as well. Great macro shot. kareninkenai
