Looks like Babolat natural gut... wonder how old it is. There are no other markings, including gauge (Babolat probably made only one kind of gut back then). The black thread running across the top is called "trebling" and was used to prevent string movement.

This must have held the wooden planks together on the cargo ship. It was a huge piece of rope (natural not synthetic). Perhaps 'string theory' is mistaken in thinking that it can hold everything together...
I am in two receiver's-choice swap-bot swaps for 8.5" string quilt blocks, one set with the random-width strings parallel to two sides and the other with diagonal strips of uneven width. Three of my four partners are the same in both swaps, and two of them have similar colour choices, so I worked on their four blocks together.
All 8 blocks really are square - it is my photography at fault, not my cutting!
They looked so beautiful hanging on this single slim branch of this Bleeding Heart Shrub. Once the heart shaped flowers open they tend to get heavier and the stems often bend, unlike this one that is still fairly straight.
The photo was used in a music presentation by 'The Women's Peninsula Chorus' in a piece of music written by Mark Winges called 'Heart Spells'; here is the link:

TFL!
Now that I have a 3d printer I am revisiting the string plotter. This time I am considering using it as the mechanism for a Lunar Lander / Asteroids sort of game.
These two stepper motors will be responsible for winding and unwinding the string on these printed drums.
One of my ideas for the October 19, 2020 Macro Monday theme: string
(I changed my mind and went with my first thought after all.)
This is an updated version of the classic button & string "buzz saw" toy; it originally had a light in the edge that came on when the disc spun. Sadly, that's out of commission and will remain so unless I find a soldering iron and can successfully fix it.
The disc is approximately 2.5"; the background is a garment in which the colors come from threads drawn through the fabric.

Concierto del Cuarteto de Cuerda QVIXOTE el jueves 21 de febrero de 2008 en la Sala Gordón Ordás de la Universidad de León, dentro del Ciclo Juventudes Musicales de España.
STBD side fitted, PORT stringers being fitted. I've got a system: fix first stringer (using superglue), let it set, then you can fit three at a time. Like I said...laborious

A quick and dirty test using a camera stabilizer made from a bolt, some string and a washer.
The stabilizer was activated by stepping on the washer and pulling the camera up to tighten the string. Simple and effective.
The test was shot with my D80 at 1/15 of second using 100mm zoom. Handheld and no touch up or sharpening.
The tightening of the string made a very distinct difference in the overall sharpness of the image. I used manson's line since it has very little stretch and on the bolt, I used a jam-nut to limit how far the bolt went into the tripod mount on the camera. A bit of glue on the threads before I spun the nut into position holds the nut. Cheaper than locktight.
Many people do Discover Scuba (and churn up a lot of sand). This was probably the most exciting part of the Underwater Museum, when I saw a Discover Scuba participant in a stringkini.

Not perfect, but I really like how it turned out.
