A glass ampul containing virgin silk; an extremely fine ophthalmic suture material consisting of two to seven natural silk filaments bonded together by sericin, a natural adhesive. This ampul is dated 28-01-1964. The silk was held in the ampul to protect it from air and contaminants. To get to the silk, you had to snap of the neck of the ampul.

Mum brought 80 million serger thread cones for me. She claims to have picked only the colours she won't use out of her stash. Conveniently for me, they're some of my faves.
A thread-waisted wasp, Ammophila sp., feeding on nectar from snakeroot flowers in our back yard. Letting native "weeds" flower in your garden is a great way to attract pollinators. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, September 7, 2022.
I love embroidery threads. This is not a collage of my personal stash - I think I have more. Hopeless. June 29014
I got sick of having to look in boxes for my embroidery threads so I decided to re-vamp my postcard wall and have them on permanent display for easy selection.
I wanted to get something in front of my camera that wasn't jewelry for a little while. Looking around, I found one of my loose screws just rolling around and plopped it down for a couple of shots. I ended up finding the actual head of the screw pretty interesting. Not only is it carved into the metal in an interesting shape but also the depth of that carving cut down below the polished exterior.
There are so many of these things around us all the time once you start thinking about it!
Short video tutorial on how to make a 7 wrap thread crochet bullion stitch.
I find that three things help me in making bullion stitches:
#1: I make sure the wraps are evenly side by side against my crochet hook, snuggled together.
#2: When I yarn over, I yarn over at least 1/2 inch away from the wraps and then I pull the thread through the wraps. (the extra thread that you skip winds up in the middle of the bullion stitch)
#3: I hold the wraps gently but firmly in place with my left hand as I pull the thread and crochet hook through the middle of the bullion stitch.
floss or thread or cotton? i love it when things have so many names.
cleaning at the moment. not just this room. lots of things that make it feel like life cleaning, you know? probably spring induced. which is just fine by me.

blogged here.
a mere fraction of my threads...most are hidden away in a drawer of the card catalog.

Well after far too much of a delay, I finally made it back out to the coast for a sunset. After hitting some waterfalls in the morning and afternoon, I made my way to Second Beach to take it all in. It was an amazing place to be, and I wish I had more time there... it really was tough getting back into my car to drive home. I can't wait for an extended weekend so I can spend some more time over there and check out more of the beautiful beaches along the Washington coast.
I also made the wonderful discovery, quite by accident I might add, that my B+W ND filters have threads on them that my GND filter setup screws into.... I had no idea until I went to meter the scene and saw it reading well over 30 seconds... I totally forgot I had my 10 stop on!! haha

.. of simple rows back and forth...
entwined
[Threads of delicate merino wool and silk wrapped steel in vintage gold, entwined to form patterns of texture, light and transparency.
Threads interconnecting as unstructured stitches come together to create a soft metallic wrap.
Threads pulled through loops in a hazy, simplistic ritual that has soothed and calmed the mind, body and soul.
Threads of luminous magic.]
Playing with that homeless SLR lens I found again. Makes decent macros when I turn it backwards and hold it in front of my camera.

This behavior, clinging to a stem with the mouth, is representative of sleeping.
PS: I appreciate invites to add a photo to your group, but I will not add my photos to a "private group" that I am not a member of. If you'd like me to add my photos, send me an invitation to join your group first (it's a little weird to not be able to see a group that my photos are invited to but I am not!). Thanks!
Here are 9 more photos from our fall 2017 camping trip.
These all have a ghost town feeling, and later I will post photos of the quirky art here at Tuscarora, Nevada.
Concrete foundations on the flat below Tuscarora must have once held ore processing equipment secured on these rusty bolts. It looks like the threads didn't survive the machinery removal.
