Playing with embroidery thread and color paper

This waterfall is located near Creede Colorado. Travel along the Silver Thread Scenic By Way across Slumgullion Pass from Lake City Colorado. This waterfall actually name is North Clear Creek Waterfalls.

Inspired by other vintage thread images on Flickr I couldn't resist doing another version with my vintage thread.

Fragile Threads

by Victoria Frazior, 1998

 

Our lives, embroidered into the fabric of time,

Nearly invisible in the length and breadth of space;

We execute our creation, stitch by stitch

Hoping for glory in its making.

We bind our memories, our dreams and our hopes

In tiny fragile threads,

Across the uncertain terrain of our lives.

Together we find courage and strength

To face our task at hand

Seeking solace in our quest

As those who have the eyes to see

And the ears to hear.

Working on taming the wild nest of floss in my bin by winding it on clothespins.

eight minutes and 20 seconds and 93 million miles after leaving the sun, these rays threaded the needle through the perforations of this single oak leaf, directly to me.

The red and white ones caught on in the 1930s through the 1950s because a colorfast red thread was created, which didn't bleed in the wash. Funny, I had clothes that bled in the 60s and 70s.

Texture is from Sarah Gardner called Artisan Sky.

A spool of greenish-gray thread on the scanner. For thread-level detail, I recommend an original-size view of the lower right corner.

Exploring my grandmother's button box, I found a curved needle and a metal button and started playing.

 

I got this lot of Anchors and some other threads(plus some fabric) from a DA friend of mine :D

A fragile yet powerful masterpiece woven by nature — the spider’s web. Captured in stunning detail, this image reveals the quiet architecture of survival, art, and beauty hidden in plain sight. A reminder that even in darkness, brilliance shines.

After noticing the interesting shadow a piece of floss made under artificial light, I experimented with white thread on white paper. I rotated the paper in the morning sun and watched the shadows change. I tried a couple with black thread, and liked those better, then tried colored thread. It was so interesting to see how the shadows looked so different than the string that made them.

An Re 10/10 led intermodal scoots through the short 88 metre Mühle tunnel and traverses the first of the three crossings of the Meienreuss river it will make on its run up through the Wassen village. The train is about to enter the 300 metre Kirchberg tunnel below the church of Wassen.

 

Strangely (for this locale and for me), it was sunny for my entire visit, but quite hot and very humid, with a visible blue haze in the air which is visible around the peak of Chli Windgällen in the distance.

Even though my Ordinary Object set is finished, I will continue to photograph those simple things that interest me. I love spools of thread and this large beehive like cone of thin yarn (is there a name for it?) caught my eye at an estate sale and I bought it. I found the entire shape of it so simple and sculptural it has found a place on my desk and I will be photographing more of it.

One of my first times in a studio. Learning lighting, etc.

"The threads can always be traced back to some earlier tale, and to the tales that preceded that; though as the narrator's voice recedes the connections will seem to grow more tenuous, for each age will want the tale told as if it were of its own making."

Faraz and I are not that type of couple who do something special for valentine's day. Its just an ordinary day at our home but love and loved ones are cherished each day. That's the way it should be.

You know you're desperate when photographing quilting safety pins seems like a good idea ;-)

Who knew these luscious little rings of colors were available for appliqué? I'm beginning a new technique- photos to show work soon.
