While at the art festival, we went to the kids craft area and spent quite a while creating some art of our own. Here, Kyleigh is threading some beads onto a leather strip which became a bracelet. It's interesting to note how her fingers have become more adept at fine detail work as she gets older. No longer clumsy and inaccurate, she is now able to coordinate her fingers with her mind to create things. It's been fun to watch her skills sharpen and refine themselves as she gets older.

Pull the fabric taught, a little bit from each side to keep the design centered. It should make a little noise when you tap on it, like a drum.

A machine to spin silk thread, in the Shirakawa-go house at the open-air museum of old Japanese farmhouses, Osaka. Sorry about the blurriness of this picture but I hope you can see this interesting machine.
These are holders for potholders and I've only seen this kind that looks like a basket. Being a basket maker these are my favorites.
If you turn one of the sticks on its side, every other thread is lifted. This makes it easier to loop the thread heddles through, because the threads you're not working with are out of reach.
My daughter-in-law puts a "scarecrow" on the front lawn for Halloween, with a plastic pumpkin for a head and a "shroud" for a body. The threads of the shroud intrigue me. This was shot on my D601 with an MFT lens manually held to the camera's mount, becoming a macro lens.
