A Japanese blue and white ceramic bowl + some hankies. I sure have enjoyed the 30 macro challenge. I think it made me really take that camera with me, and look out for things. Check out others shots on the link to the right.

While looking through some historical portrait, I see this one of Henry VIII, I like his sleeve treatment, can you imagine sewing all that? I also saw this one of a 16th c. woman.. again the sleeves..

I thought I'd go for some 'holy' work.. will probably be backed with something..haven't decided that yet..
