I've been working on something involving these colours (& others), and as you can see I had just enough left of these threads to finish the project.
The orange was especially nervewracking, I was quite sure I was going to have to unpick all my orange stitches and start over with a new shade of orange!

Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.
I have seen this today on the street. one woman ( not in the picture ) had a thread in her mouth and twisted it in a funny way around her fingers, she then used the twist to rip out all the little hair in that womans face, I think she shaping the hair above her eyes.

....for my "balloon" of cross stitched appliqué.
That's what I think the two little guys look like. Balloons floating away over The Prairie Point Mountains...
Very happy to salvage my tiny cut out bit of cross stitched hearts...
Silver Thread Falls is the smaller of two falls at the Dingman's Falls area in Pennsylvania's Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
This was shot under poor conditions for waterfall photos. Silver Thread is in a gorge that looks like something from Jurassic Park and it was early afternoon on a sunny day. The dappled light coming through the trees created an array of bright and dark spots. I don't think I would have had anything usable if not for making a 5-exposure series and blending it in HDR software (Photomatix).

We needed to replace an old 1/2"-12 bolt that was missing from our Challenge guillotine cutter. (12 threads per inch is not standard, 13 is, so new 1/2"-13 bolts don't fit.) Turns out that an old British size is a suitable replacement. British Standard Wh
a roll of thread from my mother's sewing box. this is my first shot ever (test shot, if you will), using a technique that i just learned of the other day. to say that i feel i've opened a door to a whole new world is a great understatement. this knowledge was passed along by a fellow flickrer who has used it quite extensively. i was so impressed with the effects on her photos i had to ask her how she was doing it. reverse lens macro, was her answer. the rest as they is about to be history. i've seen it (unknowingly) applied to flowers and lots of pretty things, giving them a softness and beauty beyond description. i can't wait to apply it to so many "man" things and see what evolves. thank you fellow flickrer....i shall be forever grateful.

shashiko thread, an option for embroidery when color is wanted. Japanese cotton that is very similar to 16 flose in size and strength. I got mine at a quilt show.

My thread is in the second drawer in my sewing cabinet. I used a package of long golf tees and a piece of pegboard cut to fit the drawer. I put a bit of glue on the golf tee and pushed it up from the bottom side of the peg board. I only used every other hole so there would be room for my spools. Once the golf tees were in place, I let it dry overnight.
To keep the bobbins and spools together, I put the bobbin on the peg and pop the thread spool on top of it.
I found this suggestion on a quilting forum when I looked for thread racks.
For now, I only have thread in half of my drawer. I can add more golf tees when I need more storage. Until then, I store my sandpaper board and a dozen pieces of felt in the drawer. I use the felt to lay out block pieces.
One of the things I saved while rescuing a 35mm movie projection system and accessories over a year ago from a university student center slated for demolition, was a set of improvised threading diagrams one of the student projectionists drew.
This diagram covered the film's return trip from the projector to the takeup side of a Christie AW3 platter as well as show running procedure.
