of note -- I have 125 heddles on each shaft, but this project only uses 25 heddles on each shaft AND it uses the full width of the loom. So I had to thread every 5th heddle on each shaft to spread the heddles more or less evenly throughout the shaft (sometimes I threaded every 6th or every 3rd, it just depended on what I grabbed).

They're a bit late, apologies, I've recently moved home and not been on here much..

 

All taken on Sunday 7th July at RAF Waddington airshow.

118 / 365 - thread

(on black)

 

Today I've had a very productive photo day. As I walked home I decided to force myself to find objects around worth taking pictures of. This resulted in about 50 keepers, most of them macro, because I had a macro lens on. So no strobist stuff today, enjoy some more backlit macro shots with lens flare and bokeh :)

Just some beautiful threads I wanted to photograph because of their colours.

This thread changes color as you go along. So cool.

Part of an artwork.

 

Ottawa Art Gallery; Ottawa, Ontario.

Shot with one sb600 in a small photoflex softbox camera right and almost level with the table. Light fired via Nikon CLS. Spools are resting on a piece of black acrylic.

Background is s black piece of foamcore about 3-4 feet of the back.

On left a small foamcore reflector was used to provide a small amount of fill.

I need lots of colors to fight boredom.

i'm a volunteer photographer for Red Thread Sessions -- providing Homecoming Photo sessions, new Family Photo Sessions, etc for families who have recently adopted. This beautiful family was my first Homecoming Session at the airport. What a darling girl they brought home from Taiwan! Grandparents and friends were waiting at the airport and I did my best to capture their first sight of their new baby girl.

  

Trying to get my collection of thread in one spot instead of 238 separate places.

Autumn Arbor by The Drawn Thread. Stitched on Lemon Meringue belfast linen by Country Stitch using fibers and beads as charted. Finished August 10, 2011.

Lots of thread, some of it on lovely old fashioned wooden spools. So much nicer than plastic reels.

Size 10

 

The big brown and tan ones are Aunt Lydia's in bamboo. They're really soft!

 

The DMC (round one) is in the Mocha Cream color, which is super nice.

Taken off the beaten track about 90km North East of Serra da Leba Pass in South-West Angola. Still not sure what species this is.

I hardly ever watch DVDs (I haven't had TV for about 5 years - too distracting - I don't even have an aerial at this flat, just to avoid temptation - but frankly, I can catch up online if there's someting I really want to watch ... so Aurifil's staying on TV for the mo ...

Inspiration from my vintage thread collection.

I adore my little red riding hood cape. I had a beautiful bit of vintage fabric which I used to face the front and line the hood with. I made it in a class at Thread Den.
