Thread-leaf Bluestar.It's scientific name is Amsonia hubrichtii named after biologist and malacologist Leslie (male) Hubricht who discovered the flower in Arkansas in 1942.The steel blue flowers are native to Oklahoma and Arkansas and they started to bloom this month (May).
it's amazing what we can find in the dark corners of a garage! a tight network of spider's web (+ some spray bottle drops) created this bokelicious macro abstract.
I still have some old reels that belonged to my mum. The thread has kept its colour quite well, but the wood & paper labels have darkened with age. I edited the photo to give it a more aged look.

Dec. 31 2011 - "A Chinese proverb says an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but never be broken."
I just got this done yesterday and I love it. When I came across this image on tumblr I fell in love with it.
I've always believed that everything happens for a reason, even the shitty things in life. We grow stronger. We meet people for a reason, whether to experience love or hate. I've always believed that everything will happen the way its supposed to. All of my tattoos are important to me but this one for some reason feels a tiny bit more special than the others.
It's strange though because when people see my tattoos all they see are...well....the ink and the drawing. But each one means a lot to me. I love them all.
The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread of revelation.

44/365
I never make New Year's resolutions as such, but I always come up with a list of goals that I want to achieve by the end of the year. So, at 3am on January 1st I lay awake thinking of what I wanted from 2017. I have spent today and yesterday reflecting upon what I decided over a month ago and consolidating this list.
1. Improve photography. Take more portraits and improve film photography and darkroom techniques.
2. Complete A-levels & get into Uni.
3. Get pointe work back to the standard needed for the performance.
4. Start painting again.
1 & 3 are coming along (I hope) and 2 is slipping further and further from my reach every day. But I have not picked up a paintbrush and a set of watercolours since my GCSE art exam a year and a half ago, and I used to love painting. I barely even draw anymore, and I feel I really should get back into it. The only problem is, I really do not think I have the confidence anymore. I am thinking about trying to recreate my GCSE final piece, but all I have to work from is memory and a couple of bad pictures on my phone.
Oh, I forgot to say anything about the photo... My Mum sells cross stitched cards - Christmas cards, birthday cards, Valentine's day cards, you get the idea. But it means she has so many embroidery threads of all sorts of colours. I saw them tipped out the other day when she was searching for a colour for a design she was about to start and it was like this rainbow mountain. But I was busy photographing matchsticks at the time, so I had to photograph it today instead. I was lucky to have wonderful sunshine to light it.

I know I am SO behind on my 365 challenge! ><
I'm at home for Thanksgiving break and I've got some free time so I'm trying to catch up on it right now (:
These are my friendship bracelets. I love making them for me and my friends. Each one represents one of my closest friends and I wear them 24/7 :)
Get Pushed Challenge Round 60
This round I was paired with Raf Degeest and the challenge he sent me was:
1. make a still life capture from anything that you find in the house
2. think out of the box (so no typical fruit or flowers scene)
3. use natural incoming light
you might set your camera on manual focus to do this.
I had a lot of fun with this and tried lots of different things... before settling on the thread. Just goes to show...there is always something to shoot!
Thanks for the challenge Raf!

The cramped nature of the station can be appreciated here. The line seems to have been threaded through the town on the narrowest of shelves above the fast flowing River Dee
Inspired by other vintage thread images on Flickr I couldn't resist doing another version with my vintage thread.
