Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney, Australia
NIKON D600 + 90.0 mm f/2.8 @ 90 mm, 1/125 sec at f/45, ISO 200
In the grounds of Sydney’s Royal Botanical Gardens – I was directed by some friends to check out this absolutely enormous spider (a Golden Orb) in a web hanging out in the open area (perhaps it was trying to catch bats or a small bird :))
I killed ambient by shooting a fastish shutter (1/125th) with a tightly closed aperture to also gain some depth of field this close (f/45) and then lit the spider from the side to highlight it’s shape and the fine threads using an off camera flash with a kiss of light from the front using my LED macro ring light.

Today I spent some time putting a bit of work towards an art piece I have been chipping away at for well over a year. It's one of those where I really wasn't certain of the end. I couldn't see it complete. I just knew I had to start it because it kept whispering to me. I let go and just started, allowing it to go wherever it went. I still don't have a vision of the exact finished piece, but recently I have started polishing the mirror again, which always makes things a bit more in focus. This is a pile of threads that I pulled from some pieces of fabric.
| threads |
string the flaxen weft
with love on your fingertips
to create a new
fabric for this world
blanketing the hearts
that hold the heavy loads
strength in the warp
shoulders the burden
in the creating
is also the destruction
the pulling of threads
to unleash a new edge
a birth of time
folding over the weave
never losing
my line to you
I sew at 2 different areas and was tired of chasing my pincushion around, so I made one to fit tightly into a sewing drawer that I keep sitting on top of the cabinet. Works GREAT! The little thing on top has sand in it, for my needles.
Quick shimmer!
With just a few hours, some basic crochet skills, sparkling beads and a little crochet thread you can create shimmering, multi-layered crochet necklaces that skim and sparkle around your neckline. We present a pattern "tool kit" for creating delicate crochet beaded necklaces, then provide you four different examples of how to create a personalized necklace just right for you.
Pictured clockwise starting at upper left:
Ocean: A torsade-style necklace that drapes tranquil blooms around your neckline.
Brazil: A spicy lariat-style necklace to give your outfit a little sizzle.
Violet Garden: A fresh and alive necklace with a subtle graduation.
Venetian: With its bold color palette, this necklace would look wonderful with a low-cut blouse and blazer.
44" wide x 45" long

Started in Nov 2004 & "finished" 3/17/07 (but still needs edging and blocking as of Dec 2007)
In addition to fixing her bra, I also cut a thread tying a portion of her hair on her right side. I needed to do that so I could pull her arm back through her right side hair. I also removed her gold bracelet from her right arm so it could pass through her hair. I also move her head into a straight ahead pose, and shape her fins so they are laid out and symmetrical. Now Ariel is fully deboxed.
After I cut the rubber bands in the back, her bra fell off, and I knew then that I just cut off her bra straps. They were threaded through two small holes on either side of her bra, and wrapped behind her back, and also wrapped around her neck. When I reconstructed her bra strap, I decided to just wrap it behind her back, thinking that would provide enough support, as long as it was tight enough.
Important Note: DO NOT remove or cut the clear rubber bands shown here on her lower back, right below her upper torso joint. They are actually her bra straps. Once they are cut, it is very hard to use them again to secure her bra. In fact I had to jury rig new bra straps out of the remaining rubber pieces, plus a spare rubber band I had from deboxing other dolls.
Closeup of Ariel's lower back, where manufacturer's markings are found, including her part number and edition number and size. She is #1633 of 6000, which matches the numbers on the Certificate of Authenticity.
Next Ariel is freed from the cardboard backing, but is still attached to the plastic spacer. There are threads and rubber bands that I couldn't reach without taking the spacer off the backing first. The display stand is also attached to the spacer by a wire. She is placed face down on a counter to continue the deboxing. Next the spacer is removed from Ariel. There are still wires, threads and rubber bands left to remove on Ariel.
Deboxing my Limited Edition Ariel 17'' Doll. First the front cardboard cover or lid is taken off, by sliding it off the box. There are no seals to break. Underneath is a clear plastic cover through which the doll is clearly seen in an unobstructed view. Next the back lid is removed, then the clear plastic cover. Ariel is still attached the cardboard backing and doll stand. Under the cardboard backing is the Certificate of Authenticity. My doll is #1633 of 6000.
First look at my Limited Edition Ariel 17'' Doll. I got her along with the Limited Edition Prince Eric 18'' and Ursula 17'' Dolls from my local Disney Store on the release day, October 1, 2013. They are all sold out online, and probably in stores, too. My store had 5 Eric dolls and only 4 Ursula dolls. Photographed boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed.

i took like a million of these heart pictures yesterday because I was bored. and since it was raining I couldn't go outside to take picures. so youre stuck with these...
I had my eyebrows threaded today. I'm trying to decide what's better, waxing or threading. I have such sensitive skin that waxing is not the way for me to go but threading hurt more than I thought it would. With threading the results are supposed to last longer and the hair regrowth is supposed to be finer.
In this picture, I use a knitting needle size US1 to make the loops at the beginning.
I started with scrap thread that was about 30 to 32 inches in length.
Making rings might be a good use for any the scrap you might have!
