Smudge sticks nestling with a spindle I picked up at a textile mill in England a few years back. Some of my "precious things."

§P¡NdLe is a [project|object] that [combines|confuses] skateboarding with music. The [movement/acceleration] of the skateboard is being transformed into sound synthesis. The sound engine is designed to be both, trivial and non-trivial. The [trivial|direct] translation acts as an additional channel to your mind-body coordination while the non-trivial aspect is there to provide the skateboard with a [memory|internal states] of your ride.

Spindle-spun Superwash BFL which I dyed in 'Apple Blossom' colours. This is about 225 metres of dk weight yarn, I'm planning to make some (small) socks with it.
Spindle by Dustin Shuler, 1989. Spindle lifts the auto out of its ordinary place, to question its priority and importance in our daily living.

Spindle fruits (Euonymus europaeus). Reflected in mirror.
The wood of this tree is very hard and can be cut to a very sharp point - in the past it was used to make spindles for spinning wool. Its fruits are one of the more colourful highlights of an English wood in autumn.
Vigorous native green-stemmed deciduous shrub or small tree with inconspicuous flowers in May.
Can be very showy in autumn with red leaves and masses of rose-red capsules attractive to birds. Also Food plant of the Holly Blue butterfly.
The tree has also been known as Prickwood, Skewerwood (due to being made into toothpicks) and Pincushion Shrub. The name euonymous associates the plant with Euonyme, who was the Mother of the Fairies. It is a favourite tree of robins, so much so that it is also known as Robins' bread.
Was traditionally used in spindles for looms. Charcoal was made from the young shoots and also used in making gunpowder. Pegs have also been made from the wood. The fruits (which are poisonous) yield a yellow dye when boiled in water, or green if boiled in alum.
