Taken at Threads &DQ on 29/10/11 - Halloween.

Here's another view of the threads on the Spears loom, ready for weaving. I'll be glad when I have more experience, so I can do this part quicker. I'm glad I'm a picky person now....I have finally found a craft that matches my personality! :P

I don't know how often I took photos of this spool of thread for this month's color and then I didn't use it after all because I found something else.

Sections pulled fabric and drawn thread worked on my whiteowrk sampler.

A spool of thread.

Gouache, yarn, tights, thread, wool, cotton. 59.4cm x 84.1cm.

My aim was to create circular shapes out of manipulated linear fibres. I investigated dipping fibres in wax, tearing, combining and wrapping fibres to investigate different qualities before wrapping them into circular shapes. I used these shapes to create design ideas on the body and also on the face. The resulting effects reminded me of black holes and whirlpools. The colour schemes created are derived from the pieces of fabric I have utilised. I then decided to investigate this wrapping in 3D and experimented with tights on a model’s head. The effect was quite dark and reminiscent of bandaging.

i was sewing a dress up today, so i thought i'd take some photos of the sewing machine.

I'm fascinated by these vintage needle threader. This one actually had everything with it. The other side of the threader has a picture of a witch on it.

Had to pull out the sewing kit for some thread to use for drying peppers.

This held something under a small bridge.
