My box of thread for a project I just finished. I always wait until the piece comes back from the dry cleaners before I put the thread away. You never know if you'll have to restitch something after it's been cleaned and pressed so I leave the thread in my little project box. Once I've inspected the piece, I put the bobbins back and start hunting for a new project to occupy my time.

Abstract created by photographing the warp and weft of thread on a loom with a shallow depth of field. I don't normally take shots like this but I rather like it......
On our first full day in the Casentino hills east of Florence having spent the morning visiting the town of Poppi the weather took a turn for the worse.
When it was suggested that we visit the Wool Museum ( Il Museo dell’Arte della Lana ) in the town of Stia I must admit I was sceptical. It turned out to be a great place to spend a couple of hours on a slightly rainy afternoon.

From www.visittuscany.com/en/attractions/wool-museum-stia : "In the Casentino, you can explore the culture and tradition of wool-making.
The Wool Museum is located in Stia, in the Casentino, housed in the former Lanificio, or wool mill, an example of industrial archeology that was renovated as a centre for textile culture.
The exhibition route showcases historic photos, fabric samples, objects with particular symbolic value, like the bell that marked the work day, the banner of the workers’ association and the Italian flag made at the wool mill during the Savoy era, and vintage clothing pieces made from the Casentino panno.
Visiting the museum is a genuine sensory experience, where you can explore and physically touch the art of wool-making, from the earliest days of civilization to the Industrial Revolution and the golden age of Stia’s wool mill."

CAPITOLO II - Il tuo fluire
Apri il tuo cuore come una finestra.
Lascia che il tuo inverno finisca.
Ghiacciati, se vuoi, per poi bruciare all'improvviso.
Le tue dita sono barche su un mare di velluto.
Siamo il fuoco e la notte, il giorno e la morte, il cielo e l'imperfezione.
Ciò che celiamo é ciò che é più ambito, ciò che nessun altro potrà conoscere.
CHAPTER II - Your flow
Open your heart like a window.
Let your winter cease.
Freeze yourself, if you want, then burn all of a sudden.
Your fingers are ships on a velvet sea.
We are fire and night, we are day and death, sky and imperfection.
What we're hiding is the most desidered thing of all, the thing nobody else can know.

This finch had some very fine, almost hairlike feathers that promptly showed up. Such a beautiful little bird.
A friend came over to learn a little about macro photography and this is the result. Shot with a legacy Zuiko 50mm f/3.5 macro lens with an adapter on an OM- D EM1 Mk ll. Stacked with Photoshop.

Many thanks to Sally Robertson for the reference photo.
This is "Kaga Temari". Japanese traditional handcraft.
Winding the chunk of cotton by a color thread until it forms a precise sphere.
Created this scene on top of my craft room table for the "cotton thread" challenge in the MacroMADEMOISELLE group. All the stuff around is to fix or to put away. But I like the bokeh it made, so it stayed. ;-) The delicate scissors are specifically for cutting threads.
Our Daily Challenge ... I used to.
I used to love sewing and making clothes for myself and family. Now I rarely get the machine out ... just for mending and alterations which is not much fun.
For many years I was really into machine applique and I made simple tops with interesting designs stitched onto them to sell in a boutique where I lived. They sold well and I saved enough money to buy a better sewing machine which now just sits in the cupboard unused. I also have lots of left over threads which I now use only as photographic props. Today I'm featuring a couple of fancy ones which were not really a success in my opinion.
I still love the colours!
W.A. Young Machine Shop and Foundry
Rices Landing, PA
This shop was built in 1900. It was closed in 1969 and left the way it was on its last day of operation with machinery and tools dating as far back as 1870.
The shop is beside the Monongahela River in southwestern Pennsylvania. It specialized in repairing barges, tug boats, and other river vessels and making replacement parts.
Even the tiny metal shavings or filings remain on the tools.

Labourers are working for drying threads after colouring for making saree in a village in West Bengal, India
Still exploring my wife's sowing stuff. I spent plenty of time getting lots of colour shots of reels of thread, but I couldn't really make anything work. This was a bit of a throw-away shot, but it's the best of a bad bunch.
