Microscope bingo - We have a winner, Congrats to MaudL!

Post by nachosmiley »

Right, I've had the OK from the lovely Rose to tweak the game a little so may I present to you miscroscope mayhem bingo!! :dance:

As some of you may or may not know I'm a bit of a science geek and for Christmas I was given a fantastic gift of a USB microscope. Myself and my daughter have had great fun with it looking at all sorts of different things and I can tell you that things can look a little different at 250X magnification! So I thought it would be great fun to base my bingo around my microscope!

The numbers below all relate to thumbnail images of 30 different items I have found in and around my home at 250x magnification, some are stitchy related, some are easy to guess and some are downright impossible to fathom out! With the numbers we are going to play a normal bingo i.e. pick ten and I draw until the winner calls bingo and the prize is a voucher at the stitchy site of your choice for £10 or $15.

Now for the tweak.......with the pictures we are going to play the 'Guess what it is?' game, when I draw a number I will post the big version of the picture and a slightly zoomed out version too (about 50x magnification), I then want you guys to guess what the items are! For the person who has the most correct guesses I am offering a second prize of fabby from my stash! ( 4 sample pieces of 28cnt laguna from sparklies...great size for cards, 3 pieces of 36cm x 36cm 14 cnt aida in Ice blue and a fabulous hand-dyed 28ct jobelan called Nessie from Polstitches (13 x 18 inches))

Image

I will tally peoples correct guesses, the first to post correctly gets a point and the person with the most points at the end wins! In the event of a tie for the 2nd prize I will put names in a hat and do a draw. Any questions feel free to ask...I hope I've explained it clearly enough! Without further ado here are the numbers and pictures...get your thinking caps on about what they might be but no guessing until the game starts please....PM me your 10 numbers and I will start the game on the 26th! Good luck :shamrock:

Edited to add.....All seems well with this now after a few teething troubles, so game on!! :D

Just bumping this up in case anyone hadn't seen it and wants to join in. I've added a list of the people who I have received numbers from on my original post.

Oh one more thing, the guessing game part is not mandatory, it's just a bit of fun...if anyone is interested in joining the bingo game but they don't want to join in with the guessing game that is perfectly fine too!
