Oh I love those gadgets! I love the detail of all the little pins in the first - I can almost feel them.
THat is an excellent photo Dragonstar!
And it is now enjoyed by us, thanks to you. I enjoyed the soft lighting and all the details.
This would be amusing for hours on end! And, what a great black and white too. Nice one!
A really beautiful art piece to photograph enabling
fine contrasts from light to dark. Lucky grandchildren.
Ohhh, this could have fit with this week's Photo Hunt theme (of sparkle(s))... in any event, these are really interesting shots. :)
Beautiful photographs of the pin frame. Great to have something like that from your daughter that is now enjoyed by your grandchildren.
Love seeing all details...amazing ones :)

Wow, that sure is a treasure. This is the of home deco I'd like to have too...Thanks btw for hosting the meme this week in behalf of Aileni.
Ah, this is so fun! I bet your little one has already put her face on it! LOL
Super-cool as usual, Miss Dragon.
Don't forget sending our love and kiss to Aileni, we miss him!
Love to you too... :o)
These are fascinating, I like the angles you have taken the photos from.
I remember those; makes a good mono subject
I know this pins from a friend who has similar thing. I like to put it on my face and see what happen... Nice BW pic...!
I love those pin frames! It looks great in monochrome too :)
Hello. :)
I like playing with those as well..
Brilliantly captured...
Nice shot! Suits really good in mono!
Definitely one of those age old contraptions that never fail to evoke wonder...
I'm sorry about the pictures that went AWOL, but the servers where I store most of my photos went down over the weekend. They are now on-line again.
Yes, I remember loving to play with this kind of gadget. It makes a great B&W photo.
Great details and angle in these photos.
Wish you a nice week:-)
It looks so good in monochrome and the angle makes it brilliant :)
Thanks for visiting :)
