Photographed using a Crown Graphic 4x5 camera and a Rex laboratories 4x5 Camera. I took the back off the Rex laboratories camera and took the lens off the Crown Graphic and stuck them end to end. This acted as a long extension to get this macro shot. The lens on the Rex Laboratories camera was a Kodak Ektar 127mm f/4.7 lens in a Graphex shutter. This was about a 6 second exposure at f/32. The film is Ilford Delta 100 developed in Beerenol (Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer).
Trichonephila edulis Golden Orb spider

The gold in the web looked like molten gold being held in the web which was over 1m wide and tall, to try and catch the few insects in the area due to lack of rain.
This is a stinging wasp but it is very timid. The milkweed is a yellow variety which I purchased from a seed company.
Thread-waisted wasps are parasitic. They paralyze and capture spiders and various larva and carry them to their dens. Eggs are laid on the paralyzed prey and when they hatch they consume the prey. Most of these wasps are solitary unlike honey bees which live in large colonies.
Halloween Fairy. Pattern from Cross-Stitch & Needlework, September 2008. Designed by Nora Corbett. I varied some of the threads from those specified in the pattern.
The NC Coastal Land Trust hosted its Flytrap Frolic in the Stanley Rehdar Carnivorous Plant garden. This is the first time I have seen the Thread Leaf Sundew (Drosera filiformis Raf.) in the garden. This species is supposed to be expatriated from New Hanover County (plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=DRFI), so it was a special treat to see it. Perhaps it was planted from a cultivar? Regardless, its a beautiful plant.
These appear to be listed as "Significantly Rare" in North Carolina (www.ncwildflower.org/plant_galleries/carnivorous).

The blocks of this quilt were made by the members of the Common Threads Quilting Bee. I added four of my own to fill it out.
I knitted the white silk into an I-cord. I then dyed the silk using acid dyes. I unknitted the silk and crocheted into a continuous necklace.

This Civil War period dress was one of my favorites at Sarah and George's wedding. In this shot, the wearer seems to be looking at a loose thread.

still adjusting kids new school schedule, not much time to draw.
It is not unusual to find dedicated rooms within hospitals, asylums or other sanitary facilities. This time I stumbled upon a textile workshop. Threading machines, spools and fabric were still all over the place and this particular spool stood near the window, bathing in sunlight, as if it was trying to get a glance of the outer world while waiting for its azure prince to come to its rescue.
- Treatment: Pre-treatment in camera raw, curves, some constrast and color layers, color and texture overlays.
