entry for Young Lions 2010. The subject was a poster for Anasa (reek word for breath) a non-profit Greek corporation founded with the aim to prevent the development of eating disorders.
Pretty close to a chevron pattern, but made with varigated thread. Adapted from Heathers # 19 it looks like. A personal favorite.

Used to count the number of threads per inch for weaving. The patent information says 1929.
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!

I went to buy thread for a project and forgot the fabric at home. Ack! They had a bout 5 different purples and about 10 different blues. Not a bad match. Innocent Crush must be burned into my memory. Haha.

Introduction of WSF500B Full Automatic Sewing Thread Winder
WSF500B Automatic Sewing Thread Winder can reach max. 1000m/min production speed. The winding and traverse parts are independently controlled by two stepper motors to provide variable winding ratio for different thread shaping. The set is integrated with digital yarn length measuring system, electronic oiling device, tension controlling system, automatic doffing function, which enables a fully automatic production of thread package winding process.

I was handed this vintage thread by a friend of a friend. It comes with some cross stitch rose patterns, with a few lines of text in German. I'd guess that it dates from the 60s, maybe 70s?
I inserted one plastic page from the DMC thread bow system in the binder. This holds all the skeins for my current project.

This photo is from an art exhibit during a conference, ACM Creativity & Cognition 2024, held in Bridgeport Art Center, Chicago. This kinetic art work, Threading Space, was developed base on AxLab's research in building and controlling mobile robot devices on everyday surfaces, but to make them control stretching threads to explore how reconfigurable physical threads could transform our future space and cognition.
While the original work of Threading Space [1], exhibited in Ars Electronica Festival, was developed to deploy the robots on floor and ceiling surfaces for full-room scale experiences, the exhibit at C&C [2] created a miniature version of this, but making the whole structure levitated in the mid-air (by placing on a transparent acrylic), which revealed a new aesthetic expression to the technology, and art work.
