glad you joined in the fun, Don, and hugs to you also! I've got to put a pic of the bowl up here too.

donwrob from Ohio on Sep 13, 2007 at 9:00 AM said:

I just caught this one in the new comments section Alandra. And just spent 30 minutes reading all the replys, I would like to take a guess too....LOL. J/K. A very beautiful pattern and impressive loooong thread and I felt the need to be a part of it. It reminds me of Brians Lockness monster thread. Hey if you guys are giving out hugs....I'll take a couple :-) Don

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Sep 13, 2007 at 2:53 AM said:

LOL Vicki, that is funny and maybe you're right!, about the longest running thread here. Hugs back, dear friend.

TravlynWomyn from Last days in The Poconos on Sep 13, 2007 at 12:04 AM said:

That's classic, Alandra - even after you gave the totally unexpected answer they were still guessing. How funny. Give yourself a pat on the back for probably the longest-running thread on TLF!!! Hugs, my dear friend.

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Sep 12, 2007 at 10:33 PM said:

guess I'll just hafta get round to taking a pic of that dish! : )

Cancam from Pennsylvania on Feb 8, 2007 at 12:43 PM said:

That is really a super photo. I would've never thought it was a pattern on a dish. Probably the dish standing alone isn't as photogenic. But I bet we'd all like to see it.

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Nov 12, 2006 at 2:24 AM said:

thanks for commenting, Kimberly, glad you like it and see the humorous side to it :)

Photobug from Tennessee on Nov 11, 2006 at 11:21 PM said:

Very nice job Alandra... great picture... sounds like something I would do... hehe

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Nov 11, 2006 at 1:21 AM said:

thanks for guessing, but sorry, it's not that :) - altho it does look like it.

I gave the answer more than a year ago. It's the pattern on a shallow dish/bowl.

Phantom Sojourn from Buffalo NY on Nov 11, 2006 at 12:20 AM said:

Window frost crystals in winter.

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Oct 17, 2006 at 5:38 AM said:

thankyou Amy for taking time to leave a nice comment.

Amy from MI on Jul 27, 2006 at 11:07 PM said:

Very cool pic. I would have never thought of a dish. Great pic, keep up the good work:)

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Apr 14, 2006 at 4:38 PM said:

yes, it does look like that, Nancy : )

Nancy from NY on Apr 10, 2006 at 10:38 PM said:

Alandra,I never would have guessed it,I thought the same as others.Great Picture,fantastic idea! Love Nancy

Superman from Scotland on Mar 25, 2006 at 7:38 AM said:

I have guessed what it is!

Its a pattern on a bowl?dish?

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Feb 26, 2006 at 3:36 PM said:

thankyou, Artsyinchicago (forget your name : ) for taking a look and enjoying the comments etc. I did tell what it is, quite early on, but seems like people missed it : ) so I had to keep telling.

Artsyinchicago from Northern Burbs of Illinois on Feb 26, 2006 at 2:08 PM said:

That is soooooooo neat!! I do see the face in the upper right hand corner! Very interersting! Thanks for telling us you would of had us guessing for years. Lots of creative guesses though! Great Job!

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Jan 29, 2006 at 3:07 PM said:

thanks for giving a guess, Dave from Wisconsin, but "no" it's the glaze on the inside of a bowl : )

Dave McCarty from Wisconsin on Jan 27, 2006 at 11:59 PM said:

I think it is Frost on a window

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Dec 31, 2005 at 2:49 PM said:

hi neighbour, Seatac 33 : ) - thanks for the comment, glad you like it. It's the design in the glaze fired into the bowl. It's by Portmeirion Pottery of Stoke on Trent, England, -the Starfire Collection "Opal" (this is from the back of the bowls : ) incase you want to look for some, oven to table, etc. We picked some "odd" pieces up at Winners, think it's the same as your Homesense ? - there's also a "Jade" in the same design, but with a frosty sort of green around the rims and a green back to the pieces. have some of each. you never know what you might find at Winners : )

Seatac33 from Seattle on Dec 29, 2005 at 9:53 PM said:

I know you stated in March that this is a pattern on a bowl, but do you mean the "crackly" paint that some people paint onto the back of their aquariums, or an actual design fired into the bowl?

Kewl, whichever it is!

Emma from Over There on Dec 25, 2005 at 2:12 PM said:

Either coconut or dandelion fuzzies.

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Dec 6, 2005 at 9:43 PM said:

sorry Shadow, no, it's not that. I already gave the answer many months ago : ) It's the inner side of a shallow bowl

Shadow from Indiana on Dec 6, 2005 at 9:49 AM said:

ooh! Is it a landscape, with a close-up tree on the left and clouds in the sky and trees on the horizon down on the right?

Shadow from Indiana on Dec 6, 2005 at 9:45 AM said:

Is it flower petals?

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Oct 10, 2005 at 4:37 PM said:

Hi Lydia, no it's not something that's shattered inside : ) or a glass vase.

there's nothing shattered about it. it's still being used : )

lydia again from Colorado on Oct 10, 2005 at 3:43 PM said:

I was right and I didn't even read where you told us! Cool!

lydia from Colorado on Oct 10, 2005 at 3:40 PM said:

Is it a glass vase or something that is shattered inside? Do tell us! I would love to know!

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Sep 29, 2005 at 5:41 PM said:

Hi Ken, good to see you here : )

but no, sorry, that's not "it". I gave the answer way back on 4 March.

ken Robertson from Delta on Sep 29, 2005 at 5:18 PM said:

Is it frosted glass in a window ?

Sha from Minnesota on Jun 27, 2005 at 8:36 AM said:

I think it looks like frost on something?

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on May 10, 2005 at 6:52 PM said:

hi, it does look like that, but it's not : ) I gave the answer ages ago - see the entry for 4 March for answer.

Ev_Kudro from Illinois on Apr 27, 2005 at 5:56 PM said:

It looks like ice crystals on a window pane.

Alandras from southwestern BC Canada on Apr 22, 2005 at 7:17 PM said:

Hi ryanmit1, am sorry, but that is not the correct answer as it is NOT frost on a window! In the previous post to yours, I told what the pattern is, as I did earlier : )

ryanmit1 from north on Apr 21, 2005 at 4:34 PM said:

I am supprised only one person knew this was frost on a window. I have taken many similiar pictures all winter on all sorts of glass.

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Mar 29, 2005 at 10:41 PM said:

Hi Sheila, here's the "What's this?" pic that I posted back in early February, guess you didn't see it before you left.

thanks Deanna, but no it's not frozen water in a bowl, but you're close. I gave the answer on March 4th. It's the pattern on a bowl.

Deanna from Georgia on Mar 28, 2005 at 8:45 PM said:

Is it frozen water in a bowl?

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Mar 19, 2005 at 6:50 AM said:

Hi May and "R" in Egypt. No, it's neither of your guesses, but thanks for them. It's the design/glaze on a shallow bowl that I have, - a dish for eating from. Agree, it does look like a dog's face or fox face in upper right corner - several people noticed that. Just a coincidence,I guess. best wishes, Alandra

R from Egypt on Mar 17, 2005 at 7:57 PM said:

Looks like wires to me covered with a peice of cloth ... It's pretty tho!

May from Bayou George, FL on Mar 17, 2005 at 1:05 PM said:

Fish tank paint? The kind you paint on the back instead of pasting on the murals?

And maybe someone's face in the upper right?

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Mar 13, 2005 at 9:47 AM said:

Hi Janice, you didn't offend me, no problem. Hope everyone had fun trying to figure out what it was : )

sparkle1103 from Illinois on Mar 13, 2005 at 6:13 AM said:

Alandra Didnt mean to offend you but I was getting frustrated at guessing that. I thought if I picked at it. Something would appear and that is when I got the face.

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Mar 4, 2005 at 8:34 AM said:

Okay guys and gals. will tellyu what it is. It's a pattern on a bowl/dish : ) Hard to believe right, as there's so much depth to it. I should send you a pic of the dish, so you can see for yourselves. LOL.

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Mar 4, 2005 at 8:27 AM said:

yeah, Janice, it does look like a face at top R corner, there seem to be eyes and a "muzzle" like a dogs face : )

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Mar 4, 2005 at 8:25 AM said:

no, not a diamond or other clear stone. thanks tho, for guessing.

myshattereds0ul from okinawa on Mar 3, 2005 at 8:58 AM said:

is it a close up of a diamond? or some other type of "clear" stone?

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Mar 3, 2005 at 6:15 AM said:

haven't seen those super stretchy plastic bags yet here, KM, so definitely not that : ) and not stacked dry cleaning bags, Alex D.

sorry guys, thanks for ideas. I had no idea it would reach these proportions LOL

Sparkle1103 from Illinois on Mar 3, 2005 at 12:46 AM said:

Do you all see the stretched out face in the upper right hand corner of the photo. I'm getting tired of trying to guess what this is. It is pretty intrigueing though.

Alex D. from Alameda, CA on Mar 2, 2005 at 10:38 PM said:

Adding to the previous comment, how about dry cleaning bags, piled on top of one another?

km from TX on Mar 2, 2005 at 8:09 PM said:

How about one of those new super stretchy plastic bags? I can see a torn corner on the lower left side. Hey, I love the gimmick!!!lol

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Mar 2, 2005 at 4:54 PM said:

all good guesses, but not right, sorry guys : )

sheila@mountifield from West Sussex, England on Mar 2, 2005 at 7:14 AM said:

spilt milk frozen.

technogranny from West Sussex, England on Mar 2, 2005 at 7:10 AM said:

frozen skin on top of paint pot.

Arlene from Tn on Mar 2, 2005 at 6:03 AM said:

How about an old dried up paintbrush?

myshattereds0ul from okinawa on Mar 2, 2005 at 1:42 AM said:

when are we gonna find out what it is...the suspence is killin me :)

*jeanne* from chesapeake beach, md on Mar 1, 2005 at 10:00 PM said:

a white carnation?

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Mar 1, 2005 at 7:29 AM said:

thanks, my shattered soul and wife, and Alex D - those are both great ideas, but not correct ones. it does look something like pencil sharpener shavings or white chocolate shavings. and the flash did go off automatically. This is making me hungry, would like some white choc about now : )

Alex D. from Alameda, CA on Feb 28, 2005 at 3:59 AM said:

I like the idea of shavings, but how about white chocolate shavings on a cake? A wedding cake perhaps?

myshattereds0ul and his wife from okinawa on Feb 27, 2005 at 11:33 AM said:

pencil sharpener shavings....is that it? it looks like a black and white of that...betting the flash was used too :)

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Feb 26, 2005 at 10:34 PM said:

thanks for the guesses, eman and Gary. Nope, not lettuce leaves, Gary. not heavy frost on windows, but looks like it.

Gary Minniss from Arizona on Feb 23, 2005 at 4:50 PM said:

How about lettuce leaves?

eman from pa on Feb 22, 2005 at 1:35 PM said:

looks likea picture of ice or heavy frost on a window. what every it is nice job it really makes you stop and take a close look

RKB from Kentucky USA on Feb 22, 2005 at 4:16 AM said:

Shucks...I was wanting the prize.:-)

Alandra from same place on Feb 21, 2005 at 11:11 PM said:

nice to see you here too Eddie and Arlene : ) thankyou. but no, not grasses Arlene.

Arlene from TN on Feb 21, 2005 at 10:52 PM said:

Could it be a close up of some grasses?

Eddie S. Arlene's Hubby from TN on Feb 21, 2005 at 10:51 PM said:

For some reason I can see faces in it.

Alandra from same place on Feb 21, 2005 at 9:14 PM said:

Hi RKB, thanks for the guess, but no it's not manipulated clouds. good thought tho'

RKB from Kentucky USA on Feb 21, 2005 at 4:42 PM said:

Is it manipulated clouds?

Alandra from canada on Feb 21, 2005 at 6:15 AM said:

good to "see" you here, Nick! thanks for joining in also. but no, that's not it, but a good idea.

so nice to see the DH's of friends taking part : )

Nick Skoglund from Huntsville on Feb 21, 2005 at 5:18 AM said:

Looks like silver mylar that has been crumbled.

Kitty from LFernandez@gt.rr.com on Feb 21, 2005 at 4:00 AM said:

A feather duster.

we seem to be stuck on things with feathers...

Kitty from LFernandez@gt.rr.com on Feb 21, 2005 at 3:59 AM said:

A plastic Hawaiian Lei?

Kitty from Texas on Feb 21, 2005 at 3:53 AM said:

Okay, I thought of ice crackles, wadded saran wrap...but reading the comments I can see that those are not it.... HUMMMMMMMMMMMM

Kitty's Husband from Texas on Feb 21, 2005 at 3:48 AM said:

Is it Christopher Reeve's Lair??

Alandra from same place on Feb 21, 2005 at 3:32 AM said:

sorry Janice, no, but neat idea for a guess.

Vicki (TravlynWomyn) from Florida, today on Feb 21, 2005 at 1:58 AM said:

C'mon, Alandra - put us out of our misery - my guesses were already picked too. This is really terrific, though!

sparkle1103 from illinois on Feb 21, 2005 at 1:41 AM said:

Could it be an airbag from a car when you get in an accident or a mylar balloon deflated.

Alandra from same place on Feb 21, 2005 at 12:49 AM said:

Hi Dud, Joan, Arlene. all good guesses but not the right one. You'll all be surprised when you hear what it is : ) it's hard for me to believe even, when looking at it.

Dud from Louisiana on Feb 21, 2005 at 12:06 AM said:

Is it champagne glasses in plastic bags? This reminds me of my Abstract 1 and 2.

Arlene from TN on Feb 20, 2005 at 11:37 PM said:

Kind of looks like torn lettuce

Joan from Huntsville on Feb 20, 2005 at 11:25 PM said:

Very intriguing! I vote for flower petals manipulated as to color and several other ways.

Madeson from southwestern BC on Feb 11, 2005 at 6:07 AM said:

I know what it is, but am not telling, haha. (Alandra's husband)

Pam from Utah on Feb 9, 2005 at 2:19 PM said:

Looks like Frost on a window to me!

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Feb 8, 2005 at 6:21 PM said:

Hi Carol and Alex, thanks for the guesses, but no, it's not silk and not crumpled plastic wrap, good guesses tho' : )

Whittler from Maine on Feb 8, 2005 at 5:53 PM said:

Its a piece of crumpled up pastic wrap.

Shutterbug from Maine on Feb 8, 2005 at 3:35 PM said:

Is it a piece of silk material with frayed edges?

Carol

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Feb 8, 2005 at 6:28 AM said:

that's what I expected people would think it was, Jim, but no, sorry, not right. Thanks for the praise, also, Jim. It is kindof neat, isn't it. was pleased how it turned out, surprised too : )

Jim Legg from Australia on Feb 8, 2005 at 5:33 AM said:

We don't see anything like this down here in AUS but my guess is that it is frost or ice crystals on a a window pane. It certainly makes a great photo.

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Feb 8, 2005 at 3:57 AM said:

no, not feathers, Tam. lol - and glad you like it, Alex : ) thanks.

you'll be surprised when you find out what it is (I think)

Alex D. from Alameda, CA on Feb 8, 2005 at 2:57 AM said:

I don't have the faintist idea what this is. But, I like it nonetheless.

Zoya from CT USA on Feb 8, 2005 at 2:48 AM said:
