I used an old image from last year's 366 to try out this week's lesson which was to make a colour board in PSE.

Inspired by other vintage thread images on Flickr I couldn't resist doing another version with my vintage thread.

Fragile Threads
by Victoria Frazior, 1998
Our lives, embroidered into the fabric of time,
Nearly invisible in the length and breadth of space;
We execute our creation, stitch by stitch
Hoping for glory in its making.
We bind our memories, our dreams and our hopes
In tiny fragile threads,
Across the uncertain terrain of our lives.
Together we find courage and strength
To face our task at hand
Seeking solace in our quest
As those who have the eyes to see
And the ears to hear.

eight minutes and 20 seconds and 93 million miles after leaving the sun, these rays threaded the needle through the perforations of this single oak leaf, directly to me.
The red and white ones caught on in the 1930s through the 1950s because a colorfast red thread was created, which didn't bleed in the wash. Funny, I had clothes that bled in the 60s and 70s.
A spool of greenish-gray thread on the scanner. For thread-level detail, I recommend an original-size view of the lower right corner.
This wasp will ambush its prey immobilize it with a swift powerful sting. It will then drag the prey into an underground lair and will lay one egg. When the egg hatches the larvae feeds on the prey. Adults feed on flower nectar and small insects. They are not aggressive towards humans but I don't think I'd want to annoy one.
Exploring my grandmother's button box, I found a curved needle and a metal button and started playing.
A fragile yet powerful masterpiece woven by nature — the spider’s web. Captured in stunning detail, this image reveals the quiet architecture of survival, art, and beauty hidden in plain sight. A reminder that even in darkness, brilliance shines.

After noticing the interesting shadow a piece of floss made under artificial light, I experimented with white thread on white paper. I rotated the paper in the morning sun and watched the shadows change. I tried a couple with black thread, and liked those better, then tried colored thread. It was so interesting to see how the shadows looked so different than the string that made them.

Even though my Ordinary Object set is finished, I will continue to photograph those simple things that interest me. I love spools of thread and this large beehive like cone of thin yarn (is there a name for it?) caught my eye at an estate sale and I bought it. I found the entire shape of it so simple and sculptural it has found a place on my desk and I will be photographing more of it.
"The threads can always be traced back to some earlier tale, and to the tales that preceded that; though as the narrator's voice recedes the connections will seem to grow more tenuous, for each age will want the tale told as if it were of its own making."
