Our Daily Challenge ... I used to.
I used to love sewing and making clothes for myself and family. Now I rarely get the machine out ... just for mending and alterations which is not much fun.
For many years I was really into machine applique and I made simple tops with interesting designs stitched onto them to sell in a boutique where I lived. They sold well and I saved enough money to buy a better sewing machine which now just sits in the cupboard unused. I also have lots of left over threads which I now use only as photographic props. Today I'm featuring a couple of fancy ones which were not really a success in my opinion.
I still love the colours!
W.A. Young Machine Shop and Foundry
Rices Landing, PA
This shop was built in 1900. It was closed in 1969 and left the way it was on its last day of operation with machinery and tools dating as far back as 1870.
The shop is beside the Monongahela River in southwestern Pennsylvania. It specialized in repairing barges, tug boats, and other river vessels and making replacement parts.
Even the tiny metal shavings or filings remain on the tools.

Labourers are working for drying threads after colouring for making saree in a village in West Bengal, India
Still exploring my wife's sowing stuff. I spent plenty of time getting lots of colour shots of reels of thread, but I couldn't really make anything work. This was a bit of a throw-away shot, but it's the best of a bad bunch.

This is Nazli Gelin Garden, a size 10 mercerized cotton. I got it at Herrschners.
It comes in some rad colors. Check out that brown in the back.
Baggy clothes and tomboy vibes are my ultimate style statement! 💁♀️ There's something about rocking oversized threads that just screams comfort and confidence. Who says you can't be sexy in loose fits? Embracing my tomboy side as a mom has been a blast, blending expensive tastes & affordable pieces together in my street fashion effortlessly. It's all about owning your unique style and feeling amazing in what you wear. Here's to breaking stereotypes and slaying in every look!

I couldn't resist this vintage thread holder and made no promises to sew more if I bought it.

This is not a dragonfly. it is a lacewing (Neuroptera).
This is the most beautiful bug I've ever seen. It is as big as the bigger dragonflies.
This was found on a field on top of a hill next to a large river. There were a couple of them on that area, but I had never seen these before.
Since then, I found this to be locally common on some areas of Alentejo and Algarve (hills or dunes).

An Ancient Chinese proverb says, “An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, and despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangle, but will never be broken.”

This is my freestyle, actually for the past week, but could not upload due to finals!
Once I finish my exhibition I'm planning just too many new shoots, totally different styles (even wedding!) and in all that I hope I find some time to make some short films -mainly for practice!
And I love the idea of Project 104. I'm thinking, creating and at the same time allowing myself to work on other stuff too. Which is great.
Also, I have no idea what will I do for Uni. Will I continue, will I stop?
One thing for certain, I will be applying for scholarships. Anything related to art.

It’s all about imagination!
Albert Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
I have always been facinated by colour, especially in a "multi-colour" sense, and have wanted to take this shot for ages, but JL have a strict "No Photo" policy, so this is SOOC & shot from the hip
"When I was seven I told my mother,
To take me to the bay and put me on a ship.
Silver swordfish electric,
I can feel or dream down here.
If the water should cut my mind,
If the water should cut my life,
If the water should cut my mind,
Set me free,
I don't care,
I want to live in a bathysphere.
When I was seven my father said to me,
"But you can't swim."
And I've never dreamed of the sea again.
If the water should cut my life,
If the water should cut my line,
If the water should cut my mind,
Set me free,
I don't care,
I want to live in a bathysphere."

"Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years" is attributed to Simone Signoret
Love, as we have already discussed, is a powerful,
wonderful, ridiculous thing, capable of moving mountains.
And spools of thread.
