The village silk production, one house, a few hands and ages of experience -- from cocoon through boiling, threading, banded coloring and final weaving. Amazing. The amount of work in one cloth is incredible. And, given the intricacy of the pattern almost magical! And where? Not sure; about 20 minutes by pick-up outside Nong Bua Lamphu.

I needed a photo of "texture" for my Psych of Visual Communications HW this week. I ended up taking this shot of the ends of my scarves at around 3:30 in the morning.
Picked up this lot of vintage threads and notions at an estate sale today. The threads are the prettiest but there's a whole box of notions in the silver box. Paid $3 at an estate sale.
Buttons on collages don't look finished to me unless they have thread on them. So I usually thread mine before I stick them down.

Taken for the weekend challenge thread "In pairs" of the Sri Lanka Photographers group.
Lime on white :-)
For this shot and others to come I was trying to get the "studio like" lighting as I don't have studio nor a lightbox. What I did was I used a glass stand put a piece of soft white tissue paper over it and arranged the forks. I did have a white board on two sides as the third side was a white wall. Placing the camera on remote shutter release over the subject I set the aperture around f/16 to get a good dof and to expose the subject at f/16 I set the shutter speed to around 10 sec and manually triggered the flash multiple times in different directions to simulate the "studio like effect" of multiple light sources. This is why you need a glass stand to direct the flash from underneath as well. I took several shots will post them as I process.
Gorgeous thread I won on ebay!!! I am definitely using the one on the bottom right to quilt my Mom's quilt. Which I need to take a picture of.
Continuing to use items plucked from storage as I organize my attic as subjects for photography.
Today it's small, Japanese spools of metalic thread lying upon a length of Tsumugi silk.
A large female thread-waisted wasp, Ammophila nigricans, walking on the blades of tall grasses or reeds in a wetland. Leavenworth County, Kansas, USA. September 7, 2022.
We make a small stitch on the opposite side of the button and then bury the thread. details on next photo ;)
In this photo it shows the box in the open state. I really like the way this works and am excited to make more boxes.
thrift store score. 30 little balls of DMC perle for $2. Some are used, obviously, but some are still pretty complete! I'm calling it a success.
This is a table topper that I crocheted from a freebie Coats pattern using DMC Traditions thread. I'm quite pleased in how it turned out even if I'm not pleased with how the pattern was written.
I prefer to shoot and post the more glamorous and interesting bugs but all summer long I shoot the other insects I see. During these winter months I take time to try to identify them which you will notice I have done. See the reference to bugguide, a very useful site to use for bug ID in the United States.
Identification
Thread waisted wasps are distinguished by their long abdomen and stalked (petiolate), giving the body a "thread-waisted" appearance; middle tibiae with two apical spurs; body may be all black (sometimes tinged with metallic blue or green), black and red, yellow and black, or white and black.
Most species nest in the ground, usually in areas that have sparse or no vegetation; some species construct aerial nests composed of mud; a few species nest in hollow plant stems or abandoned bee burrows in logs.
Food
Larvae feed on the paralyzed bodies of a variety of arthropods (the host varies according to wasp species) provided to them by adult wasps; common hosts include spiders, grasshoppers, and caterpillars.
Adults feed on nectar from flowers and extrafloral nectaries, honeydew, and body fluids of their prey.
