Oiko-nomic Threads is an interactive system commenting on the notion of work through the production of a knitted textile. By rethinking and redefining the functionality of an obsolete knitting machine and rendering it part of a new system, the creation of a generative textile is made possible.

Inspired by: Heather Bailey! www.flickr.com/photos/heather_bailey/151365090/ She made some and I had to try. I couldnt figure out how to distress mine as good as hers but they still turned out great! I laid them out on the most beautiful Heather Bailey Fabric! :)

Famine is an example of thread painting in the extreme. This piece is made entirely out of thread - like illustrating with of a needle instead of using a ball point pen. The deep ruts in the landscape represent what it feels like to be used up - mentally, physically, and creatively. The horizon is so far away, an uphill climb through rough terrain, almost too far an expanse to travel. All that remains is desolation and despair.

PTS6--OK Partner. What do you think about embroidery on your pillow? Are any of these colors calling your name?
My art is all about thread these days, black thread is my color of choice. I use it frayed, tangled and knotted...the more the better for the allusive texture I am always seeking ..I was up before the house woke and managed a quick stitch sketch true to my heart. #14/61 #icad2019

I've used hand dyed crochet thread for the top flower stem and a synthetic knitted? soft braid for the lower one.
I caught the flower pot down with a sort of string. No idea what it is or where it came from. Flowers are Lazy Daisy in silk ribbon.
Color Selection from left to right:
turquoise, lavender, olive green, country red, chocolate, robin egg blue, dark blue, williamsburg blue, bright yellow, tan, black, teal blue, royal blue, dark forest, maroon, butterscotch.
I've never really like the aesthetics of threadless stems, so I went ahead and had my steerer tube cut and threaded.
Whee, the perle cotton thread I ordered arrived! It's skinny stuff- it's size 8 or #20 US size, with a suggested hook of 1.25mm- but looks about right for recreating the vintage potholders I have.
40m each x 60 balls = lots of happy crochet time.
The thread took 2 weeks to get here. Not bad from Paraguay!
Wednesday 13 March 2013: Hanging by a thread...
I went to visit one of our local garden centres this morning. (I drove down the lane where I captured the ice sculptures yesterday, and they are still there, despite the warmer weather today.) I wasn't looking for anything in particular but ended up having a wander around browsing the wide variety of goods they now seem to sell. I ended up buying some lovely wrapping paper and hologram cards which I shall use later to create some bokah backgrounds. In the craft section I spotted this lovely display of coloured threads which was almost perfect, apart from the fact that colour 656 had sold out. So this is my blip for today, 'Perfection - hanging by a thread'.
Eyebrow threading is generally considered to be one of the safest methods of brow grooming. It's especially suitable for those who struggle with folliculitis or post-wax breakouts. We provide the best treatment that can deliver you quick, long-lasting, and natural results.
Visit Indo Canada Salon & Spa today for the best eyebrow threading in Brampton.
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!
