When it was my birthday two years ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring examples from my vintage bobbin collection. In this case I am using two of my Dewhurst's Sylko Flame reels of cotton which date from between 1938 and 1954. The spool sits on a vibrant orange silk Kurta from India which has been machine embroidered. The spools are accessorised by two dainty pieces of Latvian lace which came from one of those three tins of haberdashery that Christmas several years ago now.
The theme for for "Looking Close… on Friday" for Friday 16th of May is "the colour orange", and I could think of no better a subject than some of my cotton spools and another entry to my growing "Embroider my World" series. This makes for a bright image – one which I hope you will like, and I hope makes you smile!
A Kurta is a knee length tunic shirt with long sleeves and a buttoned placket. It is worn as a casual garment on its own or with sleeveless jackets, for formal occasions.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.

Orange is not a colour that just anyone can wear. However, if you can, you should wear it proudly and with boldness. This beautifully embroidered Indian shirt is called a Kurta. This is the classic north Indian men's dress but has today become popular across India and the world. It consists of a long Kurta tunic and a loose pair of pants called the pyjama.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 26th of November is “orange”. In the last twelve to eighteen months, I have been exploring a new avenue in my photographic creativity, that of portraiture photography. I used a somewhat illusive sitter for the “Smile on Saturday” theme of “nose” in September 2021 and for “Looking Close on Friday’s” theme of “dots and stripes” in October 2021, “lips” in November 2021 and “feathers (in black and white)” in December 2021. Since that time, he has been absent from my photostream until the 12th of November 2022 when he reappeared for the “part of a human face” theme for “Smile on Saturday”. He has kindly returned for a sixth time, and is this time showing us a piece of his wardrobe: a burnt orange Indian Kurta made of vibrant silk accented with beautiful embroidery. It was brought back for him from India by a very kind work friend. She asked him before she went home to India what colour of Kurta he wanted, he asked for parrot green. When she presented him with this burnt orange one upon her return, at first, he was not convinced that the colour would suit him for he has very pale skin, but also dark hair. However, his friend told him that it would if he wore it with pride and boldness, it would be fine. His friend was proven to be right! To show off how vibrant the orange really is, I have opted for a selective colour version of this image. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.

Egy derűs őszi délelőttön lódul neki Baranya megye egyik eldugott községének kisvasútja. Almamellék hajdani nagyvasúti állomását és kisvasút járműtelepét hagyja maga mögött egy kis C50-es dízelmozdony (C50 401) által vontatott pályafenntartási tehervonat. A hajdani Kaposvár-Szigetvár vasútvonalon - mely a '68-as közlekedési koncepció által került felszámolásra - fekvő Almamellék községének állomásáról induló kisvasúti hálózat a Magyarországon üzemelő legkisebb nyomtávolságúak (600mm) közé tartozik, érdekessége még, hogy az országban egyedül itt volt kisvasúti angolváltó.
