Followed these guys (Threads), around with my camera all day. Was meant to be helping them out by doing some filming but photos did a happen. Granted I did some filming but I was more interested in getting some shots. First ever photos i've done like this, i'd say I did ok considering!
This is a Bent Creek sheep from the Ewe series. 3 strands of overdyed threads over 2 on 25 count linen.
A fine cord of cotton or other fibrous material is spun out to a considerable length, especially when it is composed of two or more fibers twisted together.
Here's a shot of the cam chain finally threaded under the main drive gear within the lower end. It took threading two guitar strings through the ends of each side of the cam chain, then creating a loop on on end, bending it around, then feeding it deep underneath and grabbing it on the other end with a hooked tool.
Of course, the cam chain roller (in between the two pistons). Removed by two 10mm bolts for ease of access.
This entire process was very tricky in the sense that it took four synchronized hands all working together in unison to handle start to finish.
Rather than trace tack as Claire Shaeffer suggests I tailor tack the seam and placement lines using a double thread of soft cotton.
I shall trace tack the centre front mark. I begin by placing several pins (marked with arrows) along the CF line…
I don't know what the hell this is but it looks like a blob of mud suspended on a single spiderweb thread. It was hanging in mid air about 5 foot up in a green house I was working in today.
Now the cylinder has been lowered over the pistons, and the cam chain is being threading through the main body of the cylinder and over the top.
I highly recommend getting the piston ring compressor tool when lowering the cylinder back on. It took two sets of hands to compress the rings (not easy), while each using our chins to gently hammer the cylinder down over each ring, one at a time... all six rings.
One of three boxes that house my collection of embroidery thread - used for friendship bracelets when I was younger, and later for actual embroidery. View the whole series

Day 15 cream
Raided the sewing box today, lots of different colours but all on cream reels. The cream thread will probably feature again one day.
Women from the Gandhi Tulsi Ashram School in Kathmandu wind thread bobbins in preparation for use with the mechanical loom. The bobbins will be placed into wooden shuttles, intertwining the multiple cotton threads to create the elaborate woven rolls of fabric for sale across Nepal, India, and the World. The school employs 30 adult women, and teaches 24 younger women in the textile arts of the mechanical loom, doll making, and sowing.

Flying into and out of Anaktuvak Pass was a beautiful and thrilling experience - and I must admit, that my heart was in my throat every now and then. The Brooks Range mountains reach peaks of over 6000 feet, which are not high for many standards, but are high in this area of the country considering the valleys are substantially lower. They also surround the area and when navigating in the area, it seemed that our pilot needed to almost "thread the needle" to get us through the pass. Now that, coupled with my husband constantly getting the 411 on the area sights and history, I was a bit anxious at times. It made me realize that I really knew nothing our my pilot, yet I allowed myself to just jump into the plane for a new adventure. I must say that in his defense, he appreared very professional and competent and obviously sensed my fear (I mean, we're in the total remote wilderness - would anyone find us??) and kept reassuring me we would be fine.
Go figure, I can go face to face with a coastal brown bear, but bumping around in the air made me a bit concerned. Oh well - if I had the opportunity to do it again - I would do it in a heartbeat!

Emily Barletta
"Untitled"
thread and paper
18" x 24"
Barletta's intricate "drawings" are meticulously hand sewn stitches into paper.
I changed the pattern a little, made it longer and used 2 elastics to hold it closed. Button is decorative.
Made with this cute tute- www.sewmamasew.com/2011/01/travel-sewing-case-tutorial/ I made it a bit bigger and with 2 elastics to hold it closed, but otherwise I followed the tute.
To be completely honest, I don't think this kit is going to work too well for me, but it's a cute little thing. It was mostly handwork, I made 80% of it on the sofa last night, after about 20 minutes with the sewing machine and iron.
