Close Up

I fancied a bit of colour today, to brighten up a rather grey afternoon. These could be wires or pipes, but they're actually a tin of coloured pencils that have somehow survived into my adulthood – pencils seem to last forever, anyway. I didn't include the points, but if I had one would see which pencils had been most used. After taking this picture I set about taking close-up photographs of all sorts of other colourful things I found lying about in my art drawer – I'll post some of them in the future, a need for brightness and colour is called for!
