See this photo for a full explanation of needle-made lace.
This photo demonstrates the final stage of the process, detaching the piece from its backing. This piece was made using metallic thread which is very finicky, so I wasn't able to get the outline coverings as clean as I'd have liked.
More of my hand dyed thread, this time to approximate a "Leafy" green. Fresh picked leaves included in the photo for comparison.
She run in the veins of the fallen leaves losing herself between the yellow and red ones grazing the cold breeze with her fingers full of rings and bags .
She slackens but her eyes are already arrived .
In the station she can feel the smell of old memories crammed into small cases and the rustle of lifes crossing their condensed breath . Emma climbs slowly few damp steps and glances the platforms .
She sits crossing her boots and dreams.
She think of the destiny of the boy hanged in the corner with an undone beard and a lined face from the umpteenth last night of bored happiness ... of a mother near the arcade , unable to choose a gift for his never born child ... of an old man crushed on a bench in front of her counting the ladders of his suit .
“ Are you never afraid of not really being there ? “ a man stares her and sketchs on the glass words that melt fast away ; Emma look at him and answers with a ghost of a smile .
“ It’s possible to look through you , there are other windows inside you “ and more words slide away and wet her face . Emma blows silent words in the air and lowers her eyes .
She would follow and tell him a chapter of her life for every station , she would show him all the faces she has known between the first platform and the exit and to list him every speech and every silence she has listened .
She looks away but the window is already faraway .
Emma checks her hat , seizes the bags and starts to walk again along the platform .
Peoples that walk through Emma leave in her some of their essence : a melancholy , a memory , a thread of smiles . Emma picks up and put down them in the bags , still dubious if leaving or staying, as ever .

A tiny shop on Granville Island with all things for fiber art: threads, hand dyed fabric, buttons, stencils, yarn, needles and dyes.
Taken back in May at the High End Hi Fi Show. On this turntable this thiny thread, made of fishing line drives a plinth of 40-60 kg.
Sculpture by the Sea 2025 almost didn't happen for financial reasons, but when federal government assistance fell through corporate donors including NRMA fed a last minute $200,000 to activate Sculpture's 27th edition.
Centre of attention at Tamarama was Coastal Threads by architectural and urban design studio Turner. The walk-through sculpture's sunset hues reflect 'Bondi to Bronte's coastline'. It's made from steel and colourful polyester.
The event's funding is mostly from corporate (38% in 2025) and public donations (24%), with NSW Government (15%) and commission on sculpture sales (~12%) the other main contributors.
Behind the sculpture sit lifeguards under the Surf Rescue tent.

Found these at Ikea a few weeks ago on sale for $20 each. They are perfect for cone thread and the short, wooly nylon spools. Awesome!
