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!

the world was asleep to our latent fuss - bowie

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

"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

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.

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 :-*

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."  ::)
