“Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.”

I was totally stumped as to what to use since all my sewing things are packed, then I remembered I still had these little gems in my Spice rack. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron This is the worlds most costly spice by weight. That's why I have so little of it. I use it in rice mostly. It give the rice a yellowish tinge and a nice musty flavour.
For the June July Jukebox, a little Australian music to add to the collection.
Threads of Silence by Karise Eden.
Karise has a quality to her voice that is raw, emotional, powerful yet fragile.
if i gave you every inch of me
could you show me how
if i learn to be more brave
could you show me how
i take a deep breath
straighten up my back
stand tall and walk along
he said you could do anything
but anything is nothing when you need a bit of helpin' out
you could go anywhere but anywhere is nowhere
but when emptiness is where you stand

I have always been facinated by colour, especially in a "multi-colour" sense, and have wanted to take this shot for ages, but JL have a strict "No Photo" policy, so this is SOOC & shot from the hip
Minimalism.
Inspired by a conversation with a friend about the things that enter our minds in order and come out randomly and the things that enter our minds randomly and come out in order.
A ripple of bright blue threads through this galaxy like a misshapen lake system. The foreground of this image is littered with nearby stars with their gleaming diffraction spikes. A keen eye can also spot a few other galaxies that, while masquerading as stars at first glance, reveal their true nature on closer inspection.
The central galaxy streaked with colour, IC 4870, was discovered by DeLisle Stewart in 1900 and is located approximately 28 million light-years away. It contains an active galactic nucleus, or AGN: an extremely luminous central region so alight with radiation that it can outshine the rest of the galaxy put together. AGNs emit radiation across the complete electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma-rays, produced by the action of a central supermassive black hole that is devouring material getting too close to it. IC 4870 is also a Seyfert galaxy, a particular kind of AGN with characteristic emission lines.
IC 4870 has been imaged by Hubble for several studies of nearby active galaxies. By using Hubble to explore the small-scale structures of AGN in nearby galaxies, astronomers can observe the traces of collisions and mergers, central galactic bars, nuclear starbursts, jets or outflows, and other interactions between a galactic nucleus and its surrounding environment. Images such as this can help astronomers understand more about the true nature of the galaxies we see throughout the cosmos.

For Macro Monday Creamy.
Some creamy threads beads and light reflecting off lace.
Captured with iPhone and Olloclip Macro Lens. No editing other than small crop and frame.
An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,
regardless of time, place, or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle,
but it will never break.”

This brand new painting is one of two works that I will have in the upcoming group show at Hofheimer Gallery in Chicago. The opening reception is this Friday, November 6 from 5 - 8 pm. There are 26 artists in the exhibition. If you are in the Chicago vicinity you don't want to miss this.
The yucca is a fascinating plant of needles and threads. It looks like t's trying to sew itself up with spiraling threads springing from the leaves. This is one of the spiraling threads.
Just a few of the vintage thread spools I have. These are the old wooden spools and are quite old as they belonged to my mother when I was a child.
This macro shot was taken in the studio for some theme–based group, back in September 2019. I do not remember which one, nor what the theme was! I have a behind-the-scenes snap (which I have also uploaded), so I can describe the lighting setup below.
Shot tethered with TetherTools bright orange cable —and extension! as my office, desk and computer is 30 meters away from that table... Fun, but not very convenient.
Strobist and technical: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a C–stand in zenithal position, 1.5 meters above subject, firing at 1/16 power through a Phottix Pro basic reflector fitted with 30–degree Andoer grid, 1.8 meters from subject and slightly above it; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera left, 2 meters from subject and slightly above it, firing at ¼ power through a Phottix Pro 110–cm Luna octabox with double diffuser. White card reflectors on two sides.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hotshoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GR3543XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body in zenithal position on a Neewer C–stand, Micro–Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 macro lens.

I couldn't come up with anything exciting for today's challenge - just a reel of thread and one large needle!

Borrowed thread from my mom. She was a dressmaker. Her specialty, wedding gowns and fine dresses. She taught me to sew my clothes when I was a teen.
The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread of revelation.

44/365
I never make New Year's resolutions as such, but I always come up with a list of goals that I want to achieve by the end of the year. So, at 3am on January 1st I lay awake thinking of what I wanted from 2017. I have spent today and yesterday reflecting upon what I decided over a month ago and consolidating this list.
1. Improve photography. Take more portraits and improve film photography and darkroom techniques.
2. Complete A-levels & get into Uni.
3. Get pointe work back to the standard needed for the performance.
4. Start painting again.
1 & 3 are coming along (I hope) and 2 is slipping further and further from my reach every day. But I have not picked up a paintbrush and a set of watercolours since my GCSE art exam a year and a half ago, and I used to love painting. I barely even draw anymore, and I feel I really should get back into it. The only problem is, I really do not think I have the confidence anymore. I am thinking about trying to recreate my GCSE final piece, but all I have to work from is memory and a couple of bad pictures on my phone.
Oh, I forgot to say anything about the photo... My Mum sells cross stitched cards - Christmas cards, birthday cards, Valentine's day cards, you get the idea. But it means she has so many embroidery threads of all sorts of colours. I saw them tipped out the other day when she was searching for a colour for a design she was about to start and it was like this rainbow mountain. But I was busy photographing matchsticks at the time, so I had to photograph it today instead. I was lucky to have wonderful sunshine to light it.
Get Pushed Challenge Round 60
This round I was paired with Raf Degeest and the challenge he sent me was:
1. make a still life capture from anything that you find in the house
2. think out of the box (so no typical fruit or flowers scene)
3. use natural incoming light
you might set your camera on manual focus to do this.
I had a lot of fun with this and tried lots of different things... before settling on the thread. Just goes to show...there is always something to shoot!
Thanks for the challenge Raf!
