Hey, look what I made! The result of the woodworking class I took during the winter. A special box to put all my embroidery floss.
It was the first time since sixth grade that I worked with wood, so I had a lot to learn but I'm really happy with the end result! All it needs now is handles on the drawers and maybe some paint (haven't decided on that yet).
This week’s theme for my Macro Mondays group is “Abundance/Abundant.” This is an empty dental floss container lit from the back by the sunshine. As you can see, the inside of the container has an abundance of wax that fell off the floss as it was pulled out of the container. In addition, the container itself has an abundance of flecks in the plastic. The colours and shapes initially caught my attention here as well as the little specs inside the container.
One of my three (haha, addicted?) embroidery floss boxes.
I have mild OCD so playing with my floss is a harmless way for me to indulge myself. I like to rearrange them by numerical order, and then into a rainbow by colour. It's very soothing to play with the spools (bobbins? cards?), and almost meditative to wind the floss onto the cards.
I also get a lot of inspiration just by playing with colour combinations.
( Edited with Picnik because I love rounded corners. )
I even have more metallic floss than is shown in this picture. I bought a huge lot via eBay, but the downside is there are many many duplicate colors.
Sort of need to do huge projects using red, green, or gold floss. Christmas?
A new girl arrived last week and a new doll today that we hope to introduce this week. Meanwhile Floss is spending some time this evening with me......
