new chess set... by northy

new chess set...

found another cheap chess set whilst in search of black dominoes... picked it up as my current chess board is a mess and i seem to have lost a few key pieces...

thank you so much for all the wonderful comments and favs on my balloon shot from yesterday :)

Nice. I think we'll be getting to know this one well. I like the look of it. I need a cool chess set!

nice! black dominoes - did you try Chinatown?

With your skills with a chess set you can never have too many.

@summerfield never occurred to me... what kind of store would i look for?
June 23rd, 2014  
dry goods store. i'll be trolling down spadina tomorrow at lunch, will be on the lookout for it. there are some shops in dundas east of spadina, right next to the place where i buy mangoes. will investigate. did you also try 'mastermind'?

wait a minute! dominoes are always black, who came up with the white???? holy cow! the world's going to end!!! :-)

@summerfield mastermind and toys are us... when i could only find white dominoes i searched online and came up empty... let me know if you find a source... i actually might be down that way tomorrow afternoon, but won't have huge amounts of time to explore...

@summerfield very cool set - wonder why it didn't come up when i did my search? i'll still see if i can find something locally... $55 is a bit steep - altho' they sure are pretty looking!

@northy - i did another search for "black dominoes" and it gave me "Double 6 Black Dominoes with White Dots in Wooden Case" Cdn. $22.93. only 4 left in stock. same as the domino set in the first link i gave you but without the other crap in it. check it out. price i think is reasonable, non?

Lovely, lovely lighting. Fav.

Beautiful shot, northy. I don't like chess but can appreciate the beautiful playing pieces.

Your album is full of such gorgeous images, quite graphical in nature. My challenge for you is to capture something that is soft with "fluid" lines. For example the curve of flower petals, ribbons/fabric, feathers, etc. I hope that is okay; let me know if not. :) Have fun.
