You know, I was sitting here last night with your typical items; cut crystal bowl,
5 yellow-orange ping pong balls, some pink gift tissue stuff, an oversized sheet
each of deep aqua and pale pink construction paper, 3 small flashlights ranging
from cheaper than cheap to cheap, a camera with a makeshift television remote
and thought, "what can I do with these?"

Nikon D70
4s f/29.0 at 65.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

It sounds like an episode of MacGyver (I actually had to go look up the spelling on that one!)
Strangely, you rock! Gary - way to make it happen!

I don't want to know what you were doing while you were 'sitting around' with these 'everyday' objects!!! ...suffice it to say, if you zoom into the reflections in the glass, there's tiny images of a man in lycra and a ballerina's tutu, hanging upside-down from a lampshade, holding a monkey, two sparklers and a camera...
it's no small wonder that the image is in focus, given the ping-pong balls aren't even in the picture, because the monkey is inserting them (by light of the sparklers) somewhere within the depths of that tutu...it does explain the smile on your face though, and the feeling of happiness this excellent picture exudes ;)

Very interesting image; even more interesting list of ingredients!

I think you left out one ingredient. In order to make this from those things you have to add a stroke of genius.

LOL, oh my! Better this shot with that list of objects than some other suggestions you may get!

OMG! That's amazing! Thanks for the ingredients list ... now that you have shared I can sort of see bits and pieces ... but this is one exceptional image, Gary! AWESOME!

Ultra modern approach !

Ooooh! I love it! What a fantastic image.... the colours are wonderful! And the lighting is gorgeous... I don't know what it is, but it sure makes for on hell of a great abstract!

Very cool how the light reflects here.

I don't know what is it but it's a very nice image. The colors and detail are excellent.
