"Metal" is the name of the game at PhotoHunt this week, and a great topic it is. Smooth and sleek to rough and rusted; precious gold to common tin. This is one of those pin toys that takes on the shape of whatever it's pressed into.
Step back a bit, and see if you can make out what this one is.*PS: While we're on the subject of metal, check out the weirdly beautiful properties of ferrofluid -- You've just got to see this stuff in action -- and the amazingly beautiful and complex sculptures of artist Bathsheba Grossman. Techies, be sure to click on the Technique button. You ain't gonna believe how these are made. Enjoy!
*Update March 24: *Answer to What is it: It's my left hand, fingers folded down, palm up. The upper shot is just a macro of a detail there. So ... I had one hand under the pin thingy and I held the camera with the other. Try holding all THAT still sometime.

Those things are so cool! The lower one is fingers folded over, not sure about the upper one.
They look like fun! I wanna get them too for my kids :)
Happy Easter to you!
No idea what the shapes are but they -- and your photography -- sure are beautiful! :)
This is so creative! My daughter loves these toys!! The bottom picture is a hand with the fingers folded over. No idea what the top one is! Have a great weekend!
oh cool i am so glad someone posted that i forgot about those
I love those pin toys. It's a mold of a hand right?
Beautiful shots! I have one of these, but it never occurred to me to use it. I'd probably never get the focus right anyway.
Thanks for all the links to ferrofluid. I think I'll be going back a few times.
Those things are so neat, aren't they? Great idea for this week's theme. Happy Easter.
Oh, I LOVE those things! They are just FUN to play with! Good job!
