Photographed using a Crown Graphic 4x5 camera and a Rex laboratories 4x5 Camera. I took the back off the Rex laboratories camera and took the lens off the Crown Graphic and stuck them end to end. This acted as a long extension to get this macro shot. The lens on the Rex Laboratories camera was a Kodak Ektar 127mm f/4.7 lens in a Graphex shutter. This was about a 6 second exposure at f/32. The film is Ilford Delta 100 developed in Beerenol (Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer).
Made different approaches on the HMM theme Needle and Thread, this one I like as well. Not sure what this is called, in Germany we call it : Einfädelhilfe.
If anyone knows pls let me know so I can tag it accoardingly.
Thanks in advance!
I always remember my mother would stitch some that had torn, as opposed to going out and purchasing a replacement ... sometimes, my wife does the same!!

A stitch in time ... as they say! I was working in my garden this morning and it was oh so cold I only lasted an hour! However, I was in luck as my wife had just finished stitching a little tear on Lewis's sweater!

Month-old feet tattoos done by the awesome Gordon Combs at Seventh Son Tattoo in San Francisco.
My apologies for my gnarly feet. Genetics.
2/18/09 - I'm not going to lie, having your stomach infested with butterflies and kisses on the forehead go a long way when trying to be happy. I'm fixing myself up, though.
Those stitches are not edited, I drew them on during Biology class today. :D!
I gotta jet, respond to everything soon <3

Sometimes it's hard to see the whole image in a photo if it wraps around the body, so I'm adding the drawing.
A large community of Herperostipa comata (Needleandthread Grass) in a Sandhills prairie. One can discern the leading edge of the wind gust toward the left of the image, coming through from the right. Yucca (Yucca glauca) is in the foreground. Better larger...a detail of this grass is provided in the next posting.

Getting into the October spirit with a "Coraline" inspired, "CreepyPasta"/"Chilling Tales for Dark Knights" influenced self portrait. If you don't know what CreepyPasta or CTFDN are they're the online urban legend/ghost stories responsible for such names as "Slenderman", "Jeff the Killer", "Mr. Widemouth and more. Their channels consist of audio horror stories and if you were interested in taking a listen you can listen to a few of my favorite stories below.

Hayland (foreground) is a water-intensive crop that faces a major challenge when irrigation restrictions are in place. However, understanding when alfalfa or other grasses need moisture the most can greatly help you schedule applications to maximize limited amounts of water.
Colorado farmers and ranchers expect to harvest 710,000 acres of alfalfa hay this year, down 20,000 acres from 2019. They also expect to harvest 700,000 acres of other hay in 2020, down 30,000 acres from last year. Alfalfa production is forecast at 2.13 million tons, down 21 percent from the 2.70 million tons produced in 2019.
The soils (foreground) are predominantly the Fuertes series. The Fuertes series consists of very deep, somewhat poorly drained soils that formed in fine-loamy alluvium derived from derived from granite, gneiss, and mica schist. Fuertes soils are on stream terraces. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 10 inches and the mean annual air temperature is about 41 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Oxyaquic Argiustolls
USE AND VEGETATION: These soils are used principally as native pastureland and for irrigated meadows. Occasionally, some areas are used for small grains. Principal native plants are sedges, rushes, saltgrass, and other water-tolerant grasses and plants.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: High intermountain valleys of south central Colorado, LLR E, MLRA 51. The series is of minor extent.

Background: Uracca-Morval complex, 5 to 40 percent slopes
The Uracca series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in fan sediments from mixed rocks, colluvium over residuum derived from granite, gneiss, and mica schist. These soils are on alluvial fans, fan remnants, valley side slopes, and mountain slopes. Slopes range from 3 to 65 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 12 inches and the mean annual air temperature is about 41 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mixed, superactive, frigid Calcidic Argiustolls
USE AND VEGETATION: These soils are used principally as native pastureland. Occasionally they are used for forestry. They yield small amounts of firewood or fence posts. They are also important for wildlife. Principal native vegetation is twoneedle pinyon, Rocky Mountain juniper, winter fat, mountain muhly, blue grams, junegrass, mutton grass, oatgrass, and needleandthread.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: South-central Colorado, MRLA 51, LRR E. The series is of moderate extent.

The Morval series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in medium and moderately fine textured mixed alluvium from shale, sandstone, and metamorphosed acidic rocks and fine-loamy slope alluvium over residuum weathered from granite, gneiss, and mica schist. Morval soils are on alluvial fans, fan remnants in wide mountain valleys, and mountain slopes. Slopes range from 3 to 50 percent. The mean annual precipitation is 12 to 18 inches and the mean annual air temperature is 37 to 44 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Calcidic Argiustolls
USE AND VEGETATION: Rangeland. Soils are cropped to small grains. Blue grama, mountain muhly, squirreltail, Kentucky bluegrass and western wheatgrass are the principal native plants.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, LRR E, MLRA 51. This series is of moderate extent.

Williams Series--North Dakota State Soil:
www.soils4teachers.org/files/s4t/k12outreach/nd-state-soi...
Agriculture is North Dakota's largest industry. About 90 percent of the state's land is used for crop farming and cattle ranching with about 24 million acres of cropland. On average, North Dakota producers plant about 7.5 million acres of wheat with production totaling 320 million bushels. North Dakota and Kansas are most often the top two wheat producing states.
The climate, rich soil and flat land of the Northern Plains are perfectly suited to the production of spring wheat and durum. These classes of wheat are planted in April and May with harvest generally taking place from late July through September. The time lapse between sowing spring wheat and plant head development is usually 65 to 80 days. It takes another 20 to 30 days for the kernels to ripen for harvest.
The soils are commonly the Williams soil series. The Williams series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately slow or slowly permeable soils formed in calcareous glacial till. These soils are on glacial till plains and moraines and have slope of 0 to 35 percent. Mean annual air temperature is about 40 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is about 14 inches.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Typic Argiustolls
Depth to carbonates ranges from 10 to 30 inches. The soil typically contains 1 to 10 percent coarse fragments but ranges up to 20 percent. Stony and cobbly phases are recognized.
USE AND VEGETATION: Cultivated areas are used for growing small grains, flax, corn, hay or pasture. Native vegetation is western wheatgrass, needleandthread, blue grama, green needlegrass and prairie junegrass.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: North-central South Dakota, central, and northwestern North Dakota and northeastern Montana. The soil is extensive.

Soil profile: A representative soil profile of the Williams series; North Dakota State Soil.
Landscape: Williams soils are on level to steep glacial till plains and moraines. Slopes commonly are less than 9 percent but range from 0 to 35 percent. The soils formed in calcareous glacial till of mixed mineralogy. Mean annual air temperature ranges from 34 to 45 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation from 12 to 19 inches. (Harvested wheat on a Williams soil in North Dakota (credit: USDA-NRCS Soil Survey Staff).
Many states have a designated state bird, flower, fish, tree, rock, etc. And, many states also have a state soil–one that has significance or is important to the state. The Williams is the state soil of North Dakota. Soils form the foundation of North Dakota, which is firmly recognized in the state’s motto “Strength from the Soil”.
In North Dakota, the Williams soil series is among the most extensive and economically important soils in the state. The native vegetation of the Williams series includes species such as western wheatgrass, blue grama, needleandthread, green needlegrass, and prairie junegrass.
These soils have high natural fertility and their content of organic matter creates highly productive landscapes. Most level to gently rolling areas of Williams soils are used for growing small grain crops such as wheat, barley, oats, flax, and sunflowers, whereas the steeper rolling and hilly areas are used as rangeland.
The soil name is derived from Williams County, North Dakota, although the type location is in Mountrail County, near the town of White Earth. In 1900, the Williams series was recognized as an official soil series for North Dakota. William soils formed under short grass prairies and were mostly converted to small grain production and working rangelands upon settlement. These working landscapes are still present today, although more recently the region where these soils predominant has been focused on great amounts of oil and gas extraction.
The Williams series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately slow or slowly permeable soils formed in calcareous glacial till. These soils are on glacial till plains and moraines and have slope of 0 to 35 percent. Mean annual air temperature is about 40 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is about 14 inches.

transplant my heart
into yours
and we'll go through hell and highwater
transplant my heart
gives me the kicks
but we're pumping
like machinery
all this change
clean incision to the brain
baby, cut me open, re-arrange
healing hands have me
medicated, gesticulated
cut me open
steal this pain
it's life
it's life
saving surgery

Struggling, today to get inspired but thankfully my wife was doing something with the needle and thread ... a stick in time!!
Going For 4 In-a-Row ~ 366 ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
Loving the yarn still. After a couple years of this, I think I'm pretty happy with this body of work. Still so much to discover, to see what I an achieve. : ) Big fat embroidery. xo
years before tattoos and piercings were commonplace, this is how my sister and I horrified our mother...
Have just returned from hols so quiet on the cake front, but just had time to knock up this little set of cupcakes for my Mum-in-Law's birthday this morning.
M-i-L is a keen cross-stitcher - she made a beautiful sampler for our wedding, and also helped me with my only foray so far into cross stitch since I was politely asked not to do Textiles for GCSE at school some years ago!
All toppers handmade and edible.
