Crushed Velvet Purple Throw - Easily the hardest subject I've ever attempted to photograph, it's like photographing a weird landscape, with very strange reflective properties, and tending towards being shadowed or appears as tons of bokeh. Need to spend more time with this material to get the best from it.
Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light;
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W. B. Yeats
The keffiyeh is a traditional headdress typically worn by Arab men made of a square of cloth, usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand. Its distinctive woven check pattern originated in an ancient Mesopotamian representation of either fishing nets or ears of grain.
The keffiyeh (Arabic: كوفية, kūfiyyah, plural كوفيات, kūfiyyāt), also known as a (ya)shmagh (from Turkish: yaşmak "tied thing"), ghutrah (غترة), ḥaṭṭah (حطّة), mashadah (مشدة) or shemagh is a traditional headdress typically worn by Arab men made of a square of cloth (“scarf”), usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand. Its distinctive woven check pattern originated in an ancient Mesopotamian representation of either fishing nets or ears of grain.
Many Palestinian keffiyeh are a mix of cotton and wool, which lets them dry quickly and keep the wearer’s head warm. The keffiyeh is usually folded in half, into a triangle, and the fold is worn across the forehead. Often, the keffiyeh is held in place by a rope circlet, called an Agal or Akal.
I am replentishing my stock of cloth menstrual pads after experiencing a tragic laundry accident which damaged most of mine beyond repair.
The three in the back are my all in one design (folds into thirds with a water proof layer and wrap around tabs) and the four in front are glad rags style pads (no water proof layer, two absorbent inserts and a wrap around holder.)

actually colour photo - really surprised and delighted with what custom white balance can do with white sheets
also wanted to try to tell a story with the shot - create a landscape
so the fuzz up the main ridge is like people trying to get to the peek so the ridge and top of the ridge are in focus - as the rest of the range falls away.
And there's this big light in the upper left - have you climbed on these kind of days?
ok, it may be better in my head than in this shot :)
(in searching for something similar in the BIG just now, here's an example cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0923/0826/products/nepal-mounta... here i guess the fuzz is more like a tree line and this i1.wp.com/www.kirstenasmithphotography.com/Global-Travels...)

'Labyrinth- Back in Port (Maeve and Dante)'
"You are a raven. Ravens are wild creatures and shouldn't be kept in cages."
"...you are the captain of my heart, and I would follow you anywhere."
Dante Frey
(Written by Corry)
"'Cause every time we touch
I feel this static
And every time we kiss
I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life
'Cause every time we touch
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss
I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side"

Once upon a time Vin and I had started a roleplay world inspired by Jim Henson's Labyrinth; in particular what happened AFTERWARDS. We've decided to create the characters that inhabited this world of the Underground and its King/Queendoms, and bring them to life. It all started with Jareth and Sarah's children and their epic love stories...and it has epically continued on and on through the generations.
What this world means to Vin and me...it is more than words can say. We put our souls into this world and what it represents. But it is our pleasure and excitement to be able to bring them to life.
Being the third child of the High Queen Amalie and Prince Ciaran, Maeve knew at a young age that she was not destined to rule the Underground. She was a princess who liked to play in the mud and play 'pirates' which earned her the nickname: Captain Parrot.
As a little girl, Maeve was responsible for bringing her would-be-uncle Aric (who she dubbed 'Uncle Mister Aric Lion Man') from the human world to the Underground after she did a magic spell to find "the person who is going to make Uncle Corry the happiest!"
It would be years later that the seafaring captain and prince: Dante Frey who offered her the opportunity to join his crew on his bounty hunter/cargo ship: Starfish for a few months' time. It was the chance of adventure that she craved away from the Labyrinth and Goblin City! Little did she know this would be only be the beginning!
Maeve flourished and blossomed during her time at sea. She quickly found herself fitting in with the crew and being quite comfortable away from the comforts of her castle home. And as her love for the sea grew, so did her feelings for the roguish prince who captained the Starfish. And as it turned out, the feelings were very mutual...
Dante could see Maeve wanted more out of life than to be stuck in the castle; something he understood all too well. Having given up his own chance to be a king in exchange for his chosen life as a ship's captain, Dante could see that Maeve was cut from the same cloth.
And as he watched her quickly achieve her goals and dreams and saw how she truly came into herself, he began to fall in love with her. By the time Maeve was due to return home, neither of them wanted to say goodbye...but say goodbye they did.
Though it wasn't long before they were reunited again and Dante declared his love for Maeve; inviting her to join him on the Starfish until the end of their days. Maeve happily joined her beloved captain and truly lived her best life.
Dante and Maeve were among the most intimidating and fiercest fighters of their time and made sure the seas they loved were safe for the inhabitants of the Underground; a passion which passed onto their daughter and future generations of seafaring Freys to come.
Thank you to my husband Vin for creating this pose for us! Keep an eye out for more Labyrinth RP inspired pictures to come!
One of my many ongoing projects. Learning to knit. This is my contribution to Macro Mondays theme Cloth.

One of the lovely heirlooms I have from my grandmother is this hand-embroidered on linen table cloth. It's not very big - about the right size to cover an occasional table. Grandma did the needlework back around 1930-40. Each flower blossom is not quite 1 inch. I am very impressed with the precision of her stitches. I also love how soft the linen has become over the years.
