An ancient method of hair removal with origins in Arabia and South Asia. A very delicate procedure, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Hair is removed by using string or "thread", and pulling out the hairs by the follicle. (information taken from The Beauty Pot web site www.thebeautypot.com/south-asian-beauty/south-asian-skin-...)

Do these shoes cut off my legs and make look about...4 foot tall??
We needed to replace an old 1/2"-12 bolt that was missing from our Challenge guillotine cutter. (12 threads per inch is not standard, 13 is, so new 1/2"-13 bolts don't fit.) Turns out that an old British size is a suitable replacement. British Standard Wh
shashiko thread, an option for embroidery when color is wanted. Japanese cotton that is very similar to 16 flose in size and strength. I got mine at a quilt show.
My thread is in the second drawer in my sewing cabinet. I used a package of long golf tees and a piece of pegboard cut to fit the drawer. I put a bit of glue on the golf tee and pushed it up from the bottom side of the peg board. I only used every other hole so there would be room for my spools. Once the golf tees were in place, I let it dry overnight.
To keep the bobbins and spools together, I put the bobbin on the peg and pop the thread spool on top of it.
I found this suggestion on a quilting forum when I looked for thread racks.
For now, I only have thread in half of my drawer. I can add more golf tees when I need more storage. Until then, I store my sandpaper board and a dozen pieces of felt in the drawer. I use the felt to lay out block pieces.
a roll of thread from my mother's sewing box. this is my first shot ever (test shot, if you will), using a technique that i just learned of the other day. to say that i feel i've opened a door to a whole new world is a great understatement. this knowledge was passed along by a fellow flickrer who has used it quite extensively. i was so impressed with the effects on her photos i had to ask her how she was doing it. reverse lens macro, was her answer. the rest as they is about to be history. i've seen it (unknowingly) applied to flowers and lots of pretty things, giving them a softness and beauty beyond description. i can't wait to apply it to so many "man" things and see what evolves. thank you fellow flickrer....i shall be forever grateful.
