a mere fraction of my threads...most are hidden away in a drawer of the card catalog.

entwined
[Threads of delicate merino wool and silk wrapped steel in vintage gold, entwined to form patterns of texture, light and transparency.
Threads interconnecting as unstructured stitches come together to create a soft metallic wrap.
Threads pulled through loops in a hazy, simplistic ritual that has soothed and calmed the mind, body and soul.
Threads of luminous magic.]

The night crew for this evening was threshold, rizzolo, skazama and efatzo. We ventured back the site of where the old farmer's market used to stand, but this time we concentrated on the underpasses and nearby rail yard. I toted along the D200, Holga + Nikon FM. Reminded myself why I don't like to carry so many cameras.
You can see a pool here of all the shots on Flickr from the night or a slick slideshow here. It may take a week or so for all the shots to be posted.
Shop floor of the factory in ItajaÃ, Santa Catarina that manufactures clothing for my son's growing beachwear business, Santacosta.
All from Saucylouise. She's in Japan, I think (APO address) so stuff takes a couple of weeks to arrive. It's not a problem at all, but just putting it out there for swap people.
The thread is Olympus Emmy Grande and it is freaking gorgeous. I would like a ton.
The book on the left is Small and Easy Crochet Patterns by Kazuko Ryokai (ISBN9784413009683). It's adorable, but there's not a heck of a lot to it.
The other one, though- whoah. Crochet Patterns Book Motifs Edgings 300 (ISBN9784529042338) is amazing. The motifs are gorgeous. It's just chart after chart after chart after chart. The motifs are also shown connected together with charts given for the connections. I love this book and will get more like this one.
Envelope with a picture of spools of thread. I made this envelope from a sheet of scrapbook paper. Sent to a Postcrossing member in the United States.
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.
Got a change to visit one factory last night and saw these beautiful thread line up .these are natural silk threads

From my huge vase full of antique buttons (on the bottom) and spools of old old thread on wooden bobbins (on the top).
Possibly the highlight of the journey for passengers on the WHR is threading the Aberglaslyn Pass, although the view of the river is being encroached by growing trees.
The view of the train for the photographer is also suffering a similar fate as No. 138 heads for Porthmadog.
An image I took for a challenge "Inanimate Macro". I was pretty pleased with the final result, considering I don't have an actual macro lens.
The EXIF data is somewhat deceiving, as there was a reversed 50mm 1.8 in front of the mounted lens. This gives the macro ability and only provides a very shallow DOF. I might try this one again one day with focus stacking to get a better DOF.
Strobist Info:
- 580 EX II camera right. Shot into an umbrella from about 2 ft. away.
- Triggered with 7D in camera
Just a bunch of Crochet threads, I liked the colours and texture made from the bindings. Just used a load of cardboard sheets to shape the light on the backdrop and product.
Common Thread-waisted Wasp (Ammophila procera). Patuxent Research Refuge, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
A simple square weave...but with one errant thread that crept in. Guess this one will have to be sold as a "factory second."

A glass ampul containing virgin silk; an extremely fine ophthalmic suture material consisting of two to seven natural silk filaments bonded together by sericin, a natural adhesive. This ampul is dated 28-01-1964. The silk was held in the ampul to protect it from air and contaminants. To get to the silk, you had to snap of the neck of the ampul.

A trip to JoAnn Fabrics and some pp work
First: it was interesting to walk around in JoAnn's Fabric Store with a DSLR. But, I knew I would find something in there of interest. Actually, thread was probably the reason I went in there. It might be interesting to frame and hang in my sewing room. Anyway... Second: for some reason, the top and bottom pincushioned and I had to straighten that. Then, I didn't like all the blank space between the rows where they had their labels and stuff so I duplicated each row and pasted that it in the space below. I was amazed it fit just perfectly. Third, because of the lighting in the store, I had to do some color correction and bumped the contrast a little. That's pretty much it.
ISO 1600
1/160 @ f6.3
Actually, I didn't want to get a photo that was so regular. But after posting my mini pumpkins (before I thought about it) and having comments on it already, I didn't want to make you wade past them to make your critique. So, I chose something else.
