Pipe threading machine about to re-cut a 1" BSP thread, which it did in a few seconds.
The pipe is gripped into a vice that slides forwards as the the thread is cut and the pipe is drawn into the machine.
The golden honey-like substance is cutting oil.
Pinehurst housing development, South Everett WA USA, Once again the fertile hunting ground of my Moth sheet proved to be a bonanza for Assassin Bugs, this one has a small Fly with outrageously bushy antenna thoroughly impaled on its feeding tube.
Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.

I was talking about my husband and how he always tells me that he thinks I have the biggest heart of anyone he has ever met because I am constantly trying to make the world a better place. I sometimes feel I have the weight of the world on my shoulders because there is nothing I can do for the people who are victimized and the children who are traumatized...... Today while I was working on Day two of Project 365 all I could think about was how amazing my husband is and how supportive he is of my dreams and ambitions. He is there for me through thick and thin, there is nothing in the world that he doesn't know about me, or me about him. We don't believe in secrets. (not that I could keep one anyway) but I have been through some extremely difficult times in my life, but no matter what, hes always seems to "fix" me when Im feeling down. Our bond is so strong for many reasons. One being we were together for a little over a year before we actually had the opportunity and convenience of living together and seeing each other every day or on a regular basis for that matter. That made us truly appreciate the little things and I try my best not to take ANYTHING for granted. One other really big reason is, when I was younger, in high school and my freshman year of college before he and I met, I always felt like boys were chasing me. In every relationship I felt as if they felt stronger about me than I did about them. Not to sound self centered by any means but I always felt I was being chased around until I would settle and hang out with one for a while. I had no Idea what loyalty, or trust meant as far as relationships went because I simply didn't care. I did what I wanted and I got away with it. Sad I know, and later I apologized to those boys who I casted aside when they cared so much about me. But when I met Matthew, He and I clicked. And I mean CLICKED. From our very first kiss we were inseparable. Within a week of the kiss I had already flown across the country from Oregon to North Carolina to spend 10 days with "the man of my dreams" after knowing him for a short 3 days he bought my ticket. The only thing I knew about him was that I was CRAZY about him. I didn't know anything about his personal life, his career, is financial stability at such a young age, (I mention that because people have said behind my back that I only married him for money. ha. Jealousy is an ugly thing) I didn't know his middle name, but I knew that I was making the right choice. I had to lie to my parents because they would have held me prisoner had they known I fell in love with a complete stranger. I believe in soul mates and I believe in love at first sight. I believe that everything I have been through in my life has made me who I am today. And that my heart is gentle no matter how big or how small, If my worst enemy came to me tomorrow and said "i need help" I would welcome them with open arms and do what I could to help them become a better person and live a better life. So today I share my work of art, Day Two "Gentle Heart"
This picture symbolizes my husband. No matter where my tears fall, hes always there to sew me back together.
"A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread.” George Herbert
I am very proud of this picture, it makes my heart smile :) Because it symbolizes exactly how I feel. My husband is not perfect by any means, and neither am i. However I truly feel that we are perfect for each other. There is nothing in the world that can change that. And no one can tell me any different. You cant fake a love like this and it makes me so very happy to see other people that share the same love that we do. This is my life, this is my legacy, and I am grateful every step of the way. The end.
Step one, thread your machine!
Yeah...I haven't been working on anything lately. I think once I finally get moved I will be able to but for now, I'm on a sewing dry spell :(
Facial Threading - The Ancient Art of Beauty.
這種古早的美容術，運用細棉線和白粉將臉上多餘雜毛、粉刺及角質層去除的手藝，在台灣被稱作「挽面」，廣州人習慣稱「界面」，中國大陸北方則叫作「絞面」或「絞臉」，此外還有「拉面」、「開臉」等等稱法，而無論稱法如何不同，光就字面意義可知，指的是同一種在臉上做大掃除的古早美容術。

Silk thread roti - the threads made of caramelised sugar and then eaten in a roti - is a desert created in Ayutthaya. A mix of Indian subcontinent and Thai cuisines, the dish here was made by a Muslm family living in Ayutthaya and I was told that it is typically sold in the street by Muslim vendors.
The colours can vary - the green sugarsilk is coloured by use of the pandan/pandanus leaf.
assistance: my dear sister - Thank you!

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!
New memorial to Stephen Simpson’s gold thread works in Avenham, Preston.
Amongst other things, Military badges, Christmas decorations and telephone cables, all incorporating gold and silver, were made at the factory until its closure in 1991.
During the Second World War factory bosses were given a top secret assignment -- to make authentic German badges for British spies. A small room in the factory had been used by women to produce authentic badges for English spies going to Germany in the Second World War.
Richard Arton, born in Preston in 1921, worked for Stephen Simpson’s. While here he was commissioned to design an evening bag that was presented to HRH Queen Elizabeth on her visit to the town in 1938. He also designed of the lettering and heraldic crests on the Wedding Cake of HRH Elizabeth II and Prince Philip and undertook refurbishment of the Royal Order Garters belonging to the Queen and Winston Churchill.
The old Gold Thread factory has been conveted into flats.
