"blue"

It is a small grease gun under the gloves; not a flashlight.
Mix coal dust, soot, and 600 weight steam cylinder oil and you have
one of the filthiest hobbies in the world - playing with steam engines.

Uhmmm... I'm a nurse, so you don't want to see what I get on my gloves. If we did not have gloves, we would be very blue...

Keep the oil off your camera, whatever you do.
Nice composition.

Coal does look blue in the right light. Good still life.

Cool idea to use your soiled gloves. The challenge is off to a great start with lots of imagination!

Might be dirty, but very enjoyable no doubt!

Blue flashlight? What have you've been working with to get blue on the gloves?
Yvonne02-Oct-2009 04:29
Glad you wore the gloves too, looks rather messy to handle!
Laryl02-Oct-2009 04:19
I'm unsure what that is on the gloves but.. yeah you've been working hard at something!
Fred Gary02-Oct-2009 03:54
