I have never seen a male Widow Skimmer until this one and he was so far into the reeds, that I held no hope of having caught a decent picture, having to thread my camera's eye through a tight spot in all the vegetation. But I think this came out pretty OK. Kind of soft and not too much detail, but isn't he beautifully marked?

something about this thread made me take many pictures of it. I couldn't even continue weaving for awhile, until I was done admiring its pattern...or something.
For Compositionally Challenged "orange" - a mixture of buttons with thread on orange paper. Looking at this after posting, I think it almost qualifies for "something furry" too - I should have checked for cat hair before taking the photo!

37410 threads a West Highland winter wonderland along the shores of Loch Treig two miles south of the tunnel on a bright but crisp Wednesday 12th February 1986 exactly 29 years ago & sure enough we bagged a snug empty compo in the first class MkII brake! 1T12 the 0840 Fort William-Glasgow Queen Street is running downgrade with the wheel flanges squeeling around the reverse curves over the many small burns draining the western slopes of Garbh-bheinn. If you were to step to the other side of the train you would see Stob Coire Easain rising beyond the Loch, we will soon be turning left out of the valley to run across desolate Rannoch Moor towards Corrour.
This pair of slippers are a fine examples of traditional embroidered and beaded footwear from Malaysia made in the early 20th century by ethnic Chinese women. These slippers were made by women of the Chinese community living in Malaysia and therefore are a nice complement to shoes for bound feet as worn by Han Chinese women of the same period.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, a distinctive Chinese community evolved in Peninsular Malaya. The group flourished in the former British colonies along the Straits of Malacca, namely, Penang, Malacca and Singapore. The community is referred to as Straits Chinese, also known as Chinese Baba or simply Baba. The women are called Nyonya. From the late 19th century until WWII young Nyonya of marriageable age were taught to sew and embroider articles for their personal use as well as for their wedding ceremony. These included pillow covers, bed hangings and decorative panels used in the bridal chamber. Of special significance was the embroidering and beading of the wedding slippers. The prospective bride prepared a range of slippers to be presented as part of her wedding dowry, to the groom and his family. To show off the bride's work a special showcase of embroidered footwear was displayed in the bridal chamber.
A pair of beaded slippers sewn by the bride herself would be worn for the first time on the third day of the wedding, and thereafter worn on less ceremonial occasions and eventually becoming casual footwear.
In the 1940s interest in traditional Nyonya embroidery waned and influenced by Western fashion many women were married in white wedding gowns and western footwear. With the resurgence in all things Nyonya in the late 1970s traditional methods of beading and embroidery came back into fashion.Slippers (pair), leather/cardboard/cloth/hemp/metal thread/beads, with embroidered uppers, Nyonya women, Malacca, Malaysia, c.1900.
Pair of slippers (kasut kodok or 'frog shoes') with covered toe and open back. The flat leather soles rising at the toes are made with layers of cardboard and edged with silk braid. They are stitched with twine and nailed to the uppers. The inner sole is made of red leather and the uppers lining of red cotton. The uppers have been hand embroidered while being loosely stretched over a wooden frame. Pieces of coloured velvet material have been glued to the silk base to provide a varied and colourful background for the embroidery for which shaped pieces of cardboard act as a form. Silver and gold metallic thread and silk thread embroidery, sequins, and beads are incorporated in the design of 2 seated rabbits on either side of the central quatrefoil motif together with a scrolling foliate design. A semi-circular toe piece provides a distinctive shape for the slippers.
