Thanks for putting up another one of those, Kerry! :)

Post by: mariez on February 10, 2009, 01:30:08 pm: I'm going with paperweight also - there seems to be a lot of depth. These are a lot of fun.

Thanks, Kerry! :)

Post by: David In Indy on February 11, 2009, 03:31:15 am: YAY!!! Thanks Kerry! I was just thinking about posting another one of these the other day! :D

That looks like a rock dropping into a lake, but since that isn't a choice up there in the list, I'm guessing it's a paper weight. It reminds me a bit of the paper weight my great grandmother gave me just before she died. I'll take a picture of it and post it sometime soon. :D

Nice thread Kerry! Thanks for posting it!

Post by: Katie77 on February 11, 2009, 06:41:37 am: The first thing I thought of was an EYE.....so I have voted glass eye.

And when I voted I see that someone else has voted glass eye too, but hasnt identified themselves.

And yes, thanks Kerry, these "What is it's" are always fun, thanks for starting them up again.

Post by: Kerry on February 11, 2009, 08:23:36 am: "Paper weight" appears to be the most popular choice so far, with "glass eye" running a close second. Bet you're wondering where I got my hands on a glass eye! :o

Good luck, everyone! :D

Well you do work in a hospital........that actually influenced my vote for the glass eye.

Haha, I can't recall that I ever said I worked in the Ophthalmic Prosthetics Dept. of that hospital, however! ;) ;) ;) ;D

Post by: southendmd on February 11, 2009, 11:36:13 am: Hmm, I thought glass eye, but there's no sclera (the white part) surrounding the blue. So, I voted for paper weight.
Title: Re: Kerry's "What Is It?" for February 2009
Post by: Brown Eyes on February 11, 2009, 12:02:55 pm: I voted for paperweight. The little dots seen here and there in the image remind me of the bubbles one often sees inside glass paperweights.

Thanks for posting this game Bud!

Yup, the air bubbles were the giveaway for me, too. :)

Post by: Kerry on February 11, 2009, 06:20:40 pm: "Paper weight" is now firmly in the lead. Don't forget, though, that appearances are often deceptive and things are not always what they may initially appear. It's all in the way they're photographed - or enlarged/reduced in size. But then again, I may be just saying that solely in order to mislead and deceive - haha! :laugh:

Bearing in mind that I am a humble amateur painter of abstracts, it surprises me that no-one chose abstract painting. ??? ;) ;D

Post by: Kerry on February 15, 2009, 07:06:11 am: Congratulations to the successful participants who chose "Paper Weight" for you are, indeed, correct.

And for those who were not correct, may I say a big, heartfelt "Thank You" for participating.

Here's what the paper weight looks like in situ, on my coffee table, with roses from George's garden.

Post by: Penthesilea on February 15, 2009, 07:49:01 am: Whoo-eee! I knew it!

Where is my pony? ? ? ? ? ?

In case you're short of ponies, I'd also take ducklings, a kitty, a puppy, a million $$, or an all-expenses-paid-for world tour instead (I'm sooo modest ;)).

Your table looks so wonderfully tidy and beautifully arranged (love the roses!).
So alternatively to the prizes mentioned above I'd also be willing to settle for such a wonderfully tidy couch table. The catch is that you're never able to keep a table in this state when you have three kids roaming the house. So here's the deal: I get the tidy table, I'm even willing to clean it myself, and you keep it tidy by taking my tree lovely litterbugs for a week.

Deal?

;) ;D :-*

Just one potential problem, Chrissi - I live in Sydney, Australia! 8)

Oh, and just one other small thing - I hope they won't mind being locked in my laundry for the duration of their week with me! :o ;) :laugh:

Better luck next time. I thought it looked like an eye too. But then again, I also thought it looked like a still from "2001: A Space Odyssey." ::)

Okay, Chrissi, you can take the pony and I'll take the million $! :laugh:

And, Kerry, I agree that your table arrangment looks lovely, and so warm and inviting, too! It looks like you have a knack for design. (It reminds me that I should probably drag a dustrag around my own coffee table!)
