A Riot of Colours. (+PiP)

A Riot of Colours. (+PiP)
These brightly coloured, pin-head sized glitter shapes came in tiny little bottles. I transferred them to a small wooden tray to take a photo and then realised getting it back in the bottles would be almost impossible, so I just upturned the box onto a piece of black card.........and this is the result.

The PiP shows what they looked like in the box.

Hours later, we are still finding tiny bits of glitter in the carpet and I'm pretty sure I've swallowed a couple :-)))

About 10 years ago one of my daughters decided to but small red stars inside wrapped Christmas presents. Even today one occasionally appears from somewhere. Your glitter will last forever - defying even Dyson. :l-))))

Ha, ha................such a lovely story. I was going to throw the glitter out, but I'm now considering putting some in each birthday card we send this year :-)))

Ha ha, it pays to think ahead Keith, but never mind you got a great picture from it ;-)
I like the PiP, and it's good to see how they looked before, but the 'after' is my favourite.

Happy Sunday.

I am always amazed at your ingenuity and imagination on these closeup & macro images Keith. A great end image here but I would not envy you trying to put them back. Far easier tipping them all into one bag together! Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Menos mal que tienes una Olympus. Si tuvieras una cámara full frame seguramente se hubiera llenado de purpurina.
