Rushin' aroond

Under pressure from the photography tutor to get some 'close-up' material I've been scraping a very small barrel. When my only free time during daylight is at the weekends, and the weather at the weekends its totally crap, I've had to resort to some dolls.

Has anyone got some other suggestions for macro shots in low light (or indoor lighting) that can be acquired with the minimum of effort? No, thought not.
