Thread spools are seen in a garment factory in Vietnam.

Playing with that homeless SLR lens I found again. Makes decent macros when I turn it backwards and hold it in front of my camera.

It's a real hollowed egg shell underneath the woven embroidery thread.

This behavior, clinging to a stem with the mouth, is representative of sleeping.

 

PS: I appreciate invites to add a photo to your group, but I will not add my photos to a "private group" that I am not a member of. If you'd like me to add my photos, send me an invitation to join your group first (it's a little weird to not be able to see a group that my photos are invited to but I am not!). Thanks!

Postman just delivered a package with THREAD festival brochures in it. And my picture of a pincushion is featured on it! Yay!

Every colour of the rainbow and then some at Len's Mills in Guelph.

What is your feeling ?

 

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.

 

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.

I had a bit of a macroey day inspired by Macro Mondays' multicolour theme.

  

A Stouffville bound GO train threads through the vast city jungle of Toronto.

I love the soft colors of hand dyed cotton materials.

I bought a lot of antique thread spools to fill a large jar.

These rather large threaded fasteners are stacked on a wooden pallet ready for use to assemble heat exchangers. Note the relative size of the can of soda pop in the upper left. The can has an approximate diameter of 2-5/8”. Also note the relative size of the length of these studs compared to the wooden pallet on which they sit!

 

Made of high strength alloy, the spec on these are generally listed as SA193 Grade B7 with SA194 Grade 2H nuts.

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.

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.

He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.

Here are 9 more photos from our fall 2017 camping trip.

These all have a ghost town feeling, and later I will post photos of the quirky art here at Tuscarora, Nevada.

Concrete foundations on the flat below Tuscarora must have once held ore processing equipment secured on these rusty bolts. It looks like the threads didn't survive the machinery removal.

and here's a pic 7 months on.. it's just as clear!

 

This is my first tattoo. Some people were a little worried at me choosing such a visable placement, but I knew i wanted to see it easily and for it to be a part of my daily life.

 

Flint the tattooist and I worked on the design together... I knew what I did and didn't want... and I needed a spiral in there of course! The thread color is a mix of my favorite shades by Guttermann and DMC, representing my love of machine sewing and hand embroidery.

 

I wanted the thread to be able to link to other work later if I choose, but to stand alone if I don't. Flint just plucked my vision out of my head! And I am so very pleased with it.

 

It is my permanent post it note that tells me 'if in doubt, sew'.
