OK, I admit it! This picture puzzle for Macro Monday is fiendish. Ha! In fact, I shall be very surprised if anyone guesses this correctly. Now, don’t all run away, you had it easy last week, did you not? Come back and play!
This object is pretty common, and comes in a huge, enormous, mind-boggling array of shapes, styles and colours, but with a single purpose. You will see it inside, outside, at work, at home, on holiday … well, not this particular one, of course. The reason I snapped this one, was that I had never seen one quite like it.
What else can I tell you? Hmm. This does not belong to me. It belongs to a ninety-year-old woman, and it’s not the only one she has. It’s new, and she’s extremely happy with her purchase.
As usual, the answer can be found here on Tuesday evening, UK time, in the form of a picture link, and more information will be given in the comments. And as usual, I don’t plan to answer the comments until then, to avoid giving the answer away – although if I see the need, I may add one.
Now, come along – see if you can prove me wrong! Can you get this one?
I’m waiting … *Taps fingers*
Okay, I’ve been waiting with baited breath since Sunday evening (no wonder my chest hurts, huh?) and I can now confirm that after most of you guessed right last week, not ONE of you has guessed this one correctly! Congratulations, we’ve made history! Well, I told you it was fiendish!
So now you want to know what it was that stumped you all, don’t you? OK, here it is! I believe it was the one to the left of the picture that I photographed!
I will say that most of you were partly right, with guessing about fabric, so you can give yourselves half a point for that. More information in the comments, as usual! See you next week?
Oh, go on. I’ll make it another easy (ish) one?
A scarf/shawl/bag.
.-= Sistertex at Spacial Peepol´s last blog ..Virtual Easter Basket For Children’s Miracle Network =-.
I think it’s a cushion or a foot stool!
.-= granny grimble´s last blog ..THE PHONE CALL ( AT LAST ! ) =-.
Looks like a material/cloth….perhaps cushions?or sofa?
.-= Jama´s last blog ..EMPS # 83- Your Favorite Things =-.
Hmm… great shot! My first guess was some kind of printed jeans, but you’re referring to it as “it” and not “they.” Maybe the arm of a couch?
Whatever it is, I like it!
.-= toby´s last blog ..Passover! =-.
Your things are always commun and easy and to find in all households, lol ! but I don’t know again what it is maybe cross stitches ?
.-= Gattina´s last blog ..MACRO MONDAY =-.
I’m going to go with a pair of jeans. An incredibly fun pair especially for the 90yo owner!
.-= Colleen´s last blog ..Macro Monday Spring =-.
hey Jay…I always enjoy your mysteries..looks like blue jeans..but maybe a hat..or a tea towel!
We shall see!
have a groovy day!
Kiki~
.-= Kiki´s last blog ..Secrets of the Worry Dolls =-.
Methinks I’ll have a second bite of the apple. How about a tea cosy or a shopper/beach bag thingy?
.-= granny grimble´s last blog ..THE PHONE CALL ( AT LAST ! ) =-.
Is this a fabric? Very vibrant color. Happy Monday!
Macro Monday
Good macro here Jay, but don’t know what it is Hmmm…Textiles…cloth…
.-= Birgitta´s last blog ..Macro Monday – Green apple =-.
Exciting riddle, and my guess is a pair of jeans. When you have find and bought a pair of new jeans you feel great. It´s special and you always have your favourite.This ones look great!
.-= Tina´s last blog ..Macro Monday nr 2, a pansy! =-.
I think I have it sussed, then your clues throw me off completely!
The only thing I can think of that is ALL SHAPES and sizes, and is seen at WORK and OUTSIDE also, is some sort of bag. I think that is too easy, so it can’t be right though.
.-= babs´s last blog ..Remember the Magnabeetle? =-.
P.S. Come by tomorrow for mine, so I can get even
.-= babs´s last blog ..Remember the Magnabeetle? =-.
Cloth for a purse/pocketbook/bag? That’s my best guess.
Well, I see shawl has been guessed. My second choice would be handbag.
.-= quilly´s last blog ..Punny Monday 2010 #10 =-.
Jacket?
.-= quilly´s last blog ..Punny Monday 2010 #10 =-.
I was thinking a pair of jeans, too.
.-= Mama Zen´s last blog ..Even Fish Do It =-.
My guess was on the comments section from other people. Arm chair, fabric, bag, etc…
Great photo Jay!
.-= DancesOfDreams´s last blog ..Cluster of Yellow Bell Flowers =-.
I like the stars on the textured fabric. Fun.
.-= Tammie´s last blog ..Spring, An Avatar =-.
My first guess was some kind of printed jeans too! But I cant see a 90 year old woman WEARING jeans like that. But if she DOES, I would sure like to meet her!
My second guess is going to be a scarf?
.-= meleah rebeccah´s last blog ..‘Doing Things Differently™’ – My Week In Review [Part Eight] =-.
I think it’s a hackysack!! heeheehee! I know the 90-year-old would use that!
Really… a pillow?
I haven’t looked at the other comments but I’m going with a denim jacket.
.-= Baino´s last blog ..Le Fuckwit de Vendredi =-.
Reminds me of the stars.Is it an aghan (throw blanket) or a shawl?
.-= Gel´s last blog ..Eye, Eye, Eye =-.
My first impression was denim but looking more closely it reminds me of a linen type fabric so I’m going to go with a hat.
A ninety year old woman would have grown up fashionably wearing them and would have more than one so I’ll guess hat.
Right or wrong Jay – it’s fun to play each week!
.-= Carletta´s last blog ..Macro Monday: Forsythia Bud =-.
Ok, this is the first time I’m playing this…
I guess…an eyeglass container???
.-= Ron´s last blog ..Hello Kitty….the nightmare continues =-.
Whoa….Ron and I are obviously connected in some ESP way, since that is what I was about to guess. But then, who actually buys one of those? I always get mine free when I buy my glasses.
I wasn’t actually going to play this week – it is just toooooo hard!
.-= Don’t Bug Me!´s last blog ..Macro Monday: Things That make You Go …Ahhhhhh…. =-.
Looks like a pillow or some sort of cushion to me. Nice photo too.
.-= John McDevitt´s last blog ..Monday Musings: Fallen Trees =-.
Soft luggage?
.-= Vicki´s last blog ..Macro Monday: Into the Light =-.
I have not looked at any of the other comments so not sure if anyone else has the same idea but its in the soft furnishing department for sure. Either a nice comfy upholstered chair or cushion or footrest.
.-= Rosie´s last blog ..After the Rain =-.
Everyone – Wow, there are some GREAT guesses in here – and you’re all wrong. I did tell you it was fiendish!
For sure, it’s fabric, that much is obvious in the picture, I think, and many of you have that right. But since you are all completely lost, perhaps I should add one more clue?
On its own, the object in the picture would be pretty useless to most people.
There. Anyone want a second guess? Or in some cases, a third?
purse i love the colors no matter what it is hah
.-= sandy´s last blog ..Heads or Tails- Tale =-.
You’ve got me, Jay. I haven’t a clue.
.-= EG Wow´s last blog ..Hoggs Falls/ MyWorld =-.
I’m thinking scarf, or shirt, or jeans, or even a purse, but you wouldn’t want a purse, so . . .a jean jacket?
.-= lisaschaos´s last blog ..Which road do you choose? =-.
Everyone – Well, the answer is up there! And lookie! It’s a shoe! I’m not sure my mother (for yes, it is she!) would wear jeans, even if she weren’t crippled with arthritis, but she might well like a jacket printed like this, if she could find one. As it is, she has to content herself with her sparkly 5E wide fabric loafers. And she loves them – as did everyone else. Aren’t they wonderful?
Thanks so much to everyone for taking part. Sorry to make you suffer so, but I didn’t have much time this week for photography since it was Mum’s birthday this weekend, so I grabbed a shot where I could – at the party!
Next week, I’ll be back to providing you with a puzzle pitched somewhere between ‘Oh, for goodness’ sake, that’s easy!‘ and ‘How the heck are we supposed to guess that?‘.
See you then? I hope so!
OMG, I NEVER would have guessed that!
.-= meleah rebeccah´s last blog ..‘Doing Things Differently™’ – My Week In Review [Part Eight] =-.
Great quiz- Oh my, that is exactly what it reminded me of: a canvas shoe, but the words didn’t form in my brain. I didn’t realize your quizzes are regular part of Macro Mon. So much fun, Jay!!!! I loved playing.
P.S. My blog is not necessarily truth, even if written in the first person…
.-= Gel´s last blog ..Eye, Eye, Eye =-.
Meleah – See? See? I told you! Mwahahaha!!
Gel – Tee hee! So you foiled yourself on that one, pretty much! That’s funny! LOL!
And what do you mean .. those weren’t your eyes?? I’m shocked!
When you visit me, you’ll know if those were my eyes…
.-= Gel´s last blog ..Do I Need to Brush My Teeth, Too? =-.
or the ones I keep in a special container on my nightstand.
.-= Gel´s last blog ..Do I Need to Brush My Teeth, Too? =-.
HA! I really like your stlye..very fun here!
I guessed a pillow or pincushion….cute little shoes they were!
Hi, Popped on over from Regina’s place and saw that you have a Macro meme for Mondays. May have to join sometimes!
