Is 13 Green metallic varigated Madeira thread? Is 18 glitter glue or a gel pen?

2/10 :dance: slowly but surely, huh...

I concur with the first one being a green metallic thread, but I think the second one is a purple plastic ruler

13 DMC green metallic thread?
18 Is it a soup or liquid container that has glitter liquid in between the inner and outer layer?

Everyone seems to be in consensus with Carole (rcperryls) for number 13...and you would be right!

18 hasn't been guessed correctly yet although there are some really good attempts!

Ok another clue for 18......it's small enough to fit in a pencil case but don't stick your finger in it, you may just hurt yourself! :wink:

Is 18 a pencil sharpener?

Still none for me, only at 1/10.

I think 13 is a metallic floss, likely Kreinik.

18 is definitely tough... my first hunch was a yo-yo, but it's not the same on both sides. I'm going with a glitter pen on it instead, due to the clue you gave.

EDIT: apparently I missed nacho's post above; going to say it must be a pencil sharpener, like booknerd suggested.

Don't seem to be having much luck with the microscope pictures but at least I can console myself with having 5/10 numbers :oops:

It would be weird if everyone playing got one correct guess each and I just had to do a draw for the 2nd prize!! <Eeeek hope I don't tempt fate!!>

I really am the worst guesser ever. If it hadn't been for that last clue... :lol:

Oh, and for the bingo part, I have 4/10 so far.

13 I would guess as metallic floss (possibly petite treasure braid)

18 a pencil?

I have 3/10 now :dance:

No new ones today & I had no idea on the pictures today. (My yesterdays "edit to add" was a poke in the dark that I made as I was submitting my reply...I figured it was a good one & posted the edit less than a minute after my original reply)

So I'm still at 2/10.

It's really amazing how different things look like when it's magnified that much. I really had no idea that PTB was actually a blend of metallic and some other fiber. What a great idea Nacho!

The only one I had any clue on was the coin & that had already been guessed! My numbers this game aren't as lucky as the last - only up to 2/10. :(

Todays picks are up and I kid you not my random number generator has picked 1 and 2 for today!!

1 @250x mag.

1 @50x mag.
Image
2 @250x mag.

2@50x mag.

Both of these are quite hard so I think a couple of clues are in order...
1 is something that can read your mind!
2 is used by young children to help them learn to do something....they are worn on their arms.

Good luck :shamrock:

I'm going to guess that 1 is a magic 8 ball, and 2 is an arm floatie for swimming?

Both numbers today makes 4/10. I'm guessing 2 is an arm band, specifically the hole where they are inflated. No idea about 1 though.
