"Sometimes I imagined stitching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love?"

— Jonathan Safran Foer

Garment makers like to make stitching invisible, so I struggled to find any garments where the colour of the thread did not match the colour of the garment. But in the end I came across this stitching by which the collar of a cycling jersey was attached - white on black with bits of yellow and red.

From our relocation trip across the US... again :) This time we took i40. waaaay better. This was from a quick stop (15mins!) at the Meteor Crater near Flagstaff Arizona. Still experimenting with some of the stitching. This one could use a bit more work, have a couple others to work with. More versions to follow.

Macro Monday Theme: Run

I've been away for the weekend with extended family and had a busy week prior so didn't have time to be particularly creative. So a very quick & focused shoot again this morning: running stitch on my denim jeans, I do love a bit of denim!

Always appreciate your favourites and comments. HMM to everyone!
