From my first session in a studio. A tighter crop than the other image, I like this one more than the other.
The red and white ones caught on in the 1930s through the 1950s because a colorfast red thread was created, which didn't bleed in the wash. Funny, I had clothes that bled in the 60s and 70s.
Exploring my grandmother's button box, I found a curved needle and a metal button and started playing.

A spool of greenish-gray thread on the scanner. For thread-level detail, I recommend an original-size view of the lower right corner.
"The threads can always be traced back to some earlier tale, and to the tales that preceded that; though as the narrator's voice recedes the connections will seem to grow more tenuous, for each age will want the tale told as if it were of its own making."

After noticing the interesting shadow a piece of floss made under artificial light, I experimented with white thread on white paper. I rotated the paper in the morning sun and watched the shadows change. I tried a couple with black thread, and liked those better, then tried colored thread. It was so interesting to see how the shadows looked so different than the string that made them.
Ha Giang, Vietnam. Those cloaks and colors of a different world, enveloping all of those thoughts and sentiments that begin to unfurl. It's a sight to behold, those times of old, right before your eyes as they unfold. It is lovely, as the joy you see, to be there with this sight and have it as you leave.

Even though my Ordinary Object set is finished, I will continue to photograph those simple things that interest me. I love spools of thread and this large beehive like cone of thin yarn (is there a name for it?) caught my eye at an estate sale and I bought it. I found the entire shape of it so simple and sculptural it has found a place on my desk and I will be photographing more of it.

They are two brothers getting the auspicious threads on their shoulders, which well be there with them life long, of course to be replaced from time to time.

Our Daily Challenge - Order
Really battled to come up with something tonight.
Made to order?
Just saw that I misread the challenge as 'order' and not 'in order' - sorry!
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.

Part of Rae Lakes stopped me with this view. I loved how these water plants created an illusion of threads of hair spreading across the body of water reflecting the backdrop of the pines and Painted Lady and Glen Pass far behind them. The tranquility certainly called for a break and appreciation of what was before my eyes, but I still had to make it to the campground. The rain clouds traveling over the peaks looked quite uninviting.
