Drosera tracyi
This may not have been the most dramatic flower visually, but I really love its quiet beauty. This flower looked to me like a double; usually only one flower blooms at a time, beginning at the bottom. This year (2013) I have never seen so much of it blooming in masses, so wonderful. The following pictures attempt to show you what I mean.
I stumbled into this amazing store called "Tinsel Trading Company" where they had the most amazing fabrics and trim. These are 100 year old threads in gold and silver. So beautiful.
Their website is tinseltrading.com and it says it's Martha Stewart's favorite store. In the world. I believe it.
Am blessed to have so many resources here in Los Angeles. I picked up a great blue coutil as well as steel boning and casing at Richard the Thread. Coutil is a strong cotton that doesn't have a lot of stretch in the bias - helps hold the shape of the corset.
It's always interesting, what is revealed through a macro photo. What isn't seen normally, is revealed to be quite interesting.
This is a closeup of the webbing on top of my shoe.
What fascinates me are the bits of dirt in some of the threads, and the threads underneath the top web. What are those threads? Are they the top of my socks?
I took this with my Panasonic LX3, on extreme closeup macro. 1 centimeter away from the lens.
It was really just a goofy thought, to take a macro of my shoe. I had this in my to-do pile for a few days, just sitting in wait for me to discover.
I discovered the stuff under the cover.
www.kristinarustphotography.com I now have become addicted to collecting vintage spools of thread....
I saw Chinese thread books online and fell in love. I was doing a zentangle project…and decided to combine the two. Origami and I are not the best of friends…yet…so I had to make SO many boxes to get what I wanted…and ended up with 3 books. The boxes open in different ways and are stacked on top of each other to hold thread, pattern pieces, small scissors, buttons…etc. SO much fun!
