I like the detail of the lanyard weaving against the darker woven background. (Surely you were never a teen then, Miss?)

exactly (tara), the contrast is wonderful. Both are fabric too...And the composition is simple and straightforward: The lanyard cuts right across the frame on a diagonal. Striking set-off shot, with lots of texture and real presence. And you say you made this to hold a "Bosun's pipe?? Forgive my ignorance, but is that a pipe that a bosun smokes? Or a pipe for a boat? If it's for former, so you were dating a bosun??? Lol, most of the teens I knew dated fellow school mates, but maybe you went out with pirates! Hangin' out at the docks, waiting for your sweetheart to come back from the high seas...Well whatever it was for, it's a sharp contrasted capture with wonderful texture. And it's cool you saved this all these years. (Ok! I looked up "bosun's pipe": So it's a whistle, a pipe one plays for a call. All's forgiven! You didn't date pirates at age 15...it could've been a great life, though...)

Impossible to come up with anything original after those two... :p So I'll just repeat: a texture-fest! Wonderful pattern seen close enough to count the individual fibers in each strand!
