Donated by NUTURING THREADS
Nurturing Threads who donated this fabric recently ceased trading after 10 years of selling Tabitha Foundation silk. Tabitha Foundation’s vision is to develop processes that enable people to actively make their own choices in alleviation of poverty.
This fabric is hand-woven, hand-dyed, silk. The dyed silk thread is spun by hand onto bobbins and spools of differering sizes ready for the setting up of the loom. This task is usually carried out underneath the village houses and often all members of the family are involved in some way. The silk thread is finally woven into plain or patterned silks. It takes one day to weave 1 metre of plain coloured silk. Patterned silks take longer depending on the complexity of the pattern. Weaving is only carried out by the most experienced. It is a skill that is passed from generation to generation – grandmothers teach mothers and mothers teach daughters the art of weaving.
Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to make something simple.

A great view of traditional farm settlement patterns in the midwest. This is about 15 minutes out of O'Hare.
it's just a wheel that rotates
just that people can sit on and see the city
just that it goes pretty high but not that high..
look how COMPLEX this is...just to make a wheel..

The point of focus here was specifically on the style. As tiny as these flowers are it's a difficult focus to achieve sharply.

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller! Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!

Not entirely sure how i feel about this, i do know that i would like to add to it or start over. The concept i was trying to grasp originally was the moon in the sky then in the water a relfection of the moon, though the reflecction would be 4 indidivual reflections starting with a small cresent, because the full moon in the sky is a reflection of itself in the water, just like others are reflections of eachother. We are the people and organisms before us, just in diffrent forms, though all the same, so you see the full moon but the moon is full as well as a cresent or half because we are everything always. Then i was explaining this to someone and they said that it is more complex then what i was saying, "it is just the surface", so instead of making the reflection in the water, i made it on top of another moon, to emphesis the complexity, this is why i would like to keep going with this because i would like to figure out the complexity rather than just being told it is more complex. Also, not good picture quality, camera is in car, just got back from vermont, a tad bit disoriented.
Trip to dog park in Longmont for the second time with dogs. Oscar went into the normal park this time and was nice to the other dogs.
The temple ground area is small but the intricate designs were appealing. If you open your eyes wider, you can see carvings that tell a story. Blogged
