fuzzy, hard to find a place with nice sharp details. Only guess I have is maybe a placemat or hot mat, what ever they are calling them now a days.

Sooooo close, Great composition and subject but the image is too soft. The focus is off a bit. Widen the DOF and this image will rock. You might want to also want to diffuse your light so that the highlights are too harsh.

No idea, looks like woven metal on a plastic background, the underside of something but I don't know what.

I can see it but still dont know what it is .

It kinda looks out of focus so it's pretty hard. At first I was thinking leather lacing, but they look like separate circles, then I thought chain mail, but I thought those were rounder. They look like hollow magnets threaded onto pick up sticks. I can't seem to figure it out.

Miss Watson's 4th grade class finally completed their science fair project--a trivet made entirely of macaroni?

Hey, old memory. looks like too many magnets though...

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen these! These look like memory cores from before RAM days, and back in the day I used to troubleshoot the boards these memory stacks were on. But I thought memory cores had to have a diagonal sense line running through them, so maybe I'm mistaken. Nice pattern.
