Abacus Bracelet
Well, a very simplified form of an abacus.
It has smooth glass beads that can be moved along the cords.
I find it useful for counting sections of complicated knitting patterns.
Many great black and white photos can be found through the links on the Home Page.

Great Ball of Fire! And it fits especially in monochrome :-)
Much nicer than the slider I have for my knitting.
Very nice B7W effects and the reflection in the pearls is great !
Have a nice weekend

That's a great shot. Very interesting and I wouldn't have guessed what it was.
Oh, that's beautiful! I love the light.
What a terrific macro image! I first saw a working abacus when I lived on a small island in the Western Pacific years ago; the Palauan woman who owned the only grocery store could add up the cost of supplies as quickly on the abacus as someone on a calculator.
Just beautiful!
I love the image, what a great idea for complicated knitting patterns too!
Great macro and what a clever idea to use it for counting while knitting difficult patterns...better than pen and paper!
Wow what a smart bracelet. I wouldn´t mind to have one.
Ah,- so smart... I would never have guessed what it was! Looks great in monochrome!

I haven't seen an abacus since each of my children had one for helping them to count. They are grown up now and my daughter has a family of her own. Stunning detail of the shape and shine of the beads.
I like this! What a great shot!

Absolutely gorgeous photo in B&W! Wonderful reflections and shadows!
Great shot - and a great tip for mer who is a committed knitter!
Looks like a different scale completely.
My head is trying to wrap itself around the idea of using this for counting off complex knitting sections. I had a difficult time just remembering simple patterns. Amazing! The idea and the photo.
Imagine: in the era of high-tech, an abacus of glass beads... a vision like a reflection in b&w, indeed! Lovely idea!
I've never seen an abacus with glass beads. Beautiful closeup. :)
Very pretty.
Beautiful object and beautiful photograph! Light, shadows, texture all perfect!
Those beads look so metallic and interesting close up. Great b&w shot.
Beautiful close-up :)
