Worth, I think, looking at the original size for the tools and details.
For anyone who sews, seeing a thread board makes you feel immediately at home in a space. I was trying to take an image of this cozy sewing corner in a dry cleaner shop through the window but was fighting too much glare. The young woman at the counter looked friendly so I wandered in to ask if I could shoot it from inside. I'm so glad I did because we had a great conversation about her great aunt who is the doyenne of that corner, and I got to see that it's a treadle version of my own workhorse Singer which I bought years ago from a factory going out of business. They're made of cast iron, almost indestructible, and more reliable than just about any machine I've ever owned. Now I want to wander in some week day- maybe with a plate of cookies- so I can visit with the seamstress.
Struggling with the whole magenta color! When taking this I thought it was magenta-ish. But now it looks purple! No outdoor photo for me today. So I used a metal cookie tin as my background and thread on a vintage bill stacker.
These are peruvian style earrings with part of my girlfriend soul and art.
Hope you like them!

This is a tatting shuttle that I bought from Georgia Seitz. Shown here with some of my "Sugar Maple" hand dyed thread.
I've been doing a lot of embroidery lately so thought it'd be fun to arrange my threads into a rainbow :)

Background is once again my grey ironing board!
I reckon the eyes of needles have got so teeny tiny over the years :))))

One of three boxes that house my collection of embroidery thread - used for friendship bracelets when I was younger, and later for actual embroidery. View the whole series
These are the colors I would use to paint the ocean. :)
Hand woven with natural dyes in Williamsburg. All natural except the urine they use to add so the thread would retain it's color over time.
Actually, I want to attempt to sew a dress for summer. Never been good at sewing though. In fact, 9 times out of 10 the thread knots up and I need someone to bail me out by putting the thread right again... so might be a "bit" of a challenge!
I'm starting small though... tonight I made a sunglass case. Nice and rectangular :)
My son is a fly tier. Much of his bedroom is devoted to this pastime. Among his supplies are several dozen spools of thread in all shades of the rainbow.

Here they are, the nipple colour finalists. if you don't feel properly represented here (and I'll admit I was buying them for Old Man Hanson who is clearly caucasian with olive undertones), please feel free to email me (feel free to include pantone numbers but not photos thanks)

No! they live together in this box. One of many boxes of thread that I use for Embroidery, Crochet or Lacemaking.
I shot this in full manual. (Woohoo!) I even used a gray card to set a custom white balance, because the background was coming out with a bluish tinge. Someday, with practice, I will be able to figure all of that stuff out in a reasonable amount of time! :-)
