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 picture was taken for the Daily Challenge - something that starts with the letter 'N'. My first idea was to find household product that said 'New and Improved'. Oddly enough, I couldn't find any. My next idea was that ancient artifact - a newspaper. But I don't have any since I read my papers at the library. So, I went with the needle and thread. It works.

Most of these are pretty old and came from Birmingham's lovely Rag Market - where I sadly no longer visit but Lesley does - thank you : )

The thread is Opera, light yellow, size 10. Crocheted with a Boye size 6 hook.
I made this some time ago so I'll have to search to discover which pattern book it came from. I think it may have been an old issue of Magic Crochet.
We find that Craft & Design pupils often have difficulty remembering the sequence of operations involved when making a simple screwdriver handle. These photographs depict this process.
We begin with the preparation of the 25mm aluminium blank. After this the blank is held in the 3 jaw self centering chuck. A series of turning operations is then carried out. For the following we set a high spindle speed and used a slow feed speed for best results. Shown here we show facing off. Then turning down or parallel turning. Next taper turning. After that the Slocombe bit or centre bit is mounted in a Jacob's chuck and a pilot hole is drilled. A HSS twist drill or jobber bit is then mounted in the Jacob's chuck and a blind hole is drilled to a depth of 30mm. The depth gauge is used to judge this.
Taps and dies are used to cut the internal thread on the screwdriver blade and the internal thread on the handle.
Finally both components are assembled and the handle is knurled or given a textured grip pattern. This is done at a very low spindle speed and a slow automatic feed speed.

I used Mabon threads that I bought at the Knitting and Stitching show last year. I used satin stitch, chain stitch, running stitch, back stitch, feather stitch, long and short stitch, split stitch and some couching.
I mounted the embroidery on a canvas frame and then added the black fabric using buttonhole stitch (with a rainbow blending thread and charcoal thread) and added some flowers for a finishing touch.
Teenage daughter has claimed it for her room....no surprise there then.
I forgot to upload the full thread sketch of my dragon. I used the paper as a stabilizer. On the real thing, I'll use some sort of fusible interfacing, I presume.
When I'm alone
I know I go
I paid in leaves
to the sun
In light of god
I see myself
movieing things
every day
The open sky
The breathing stars

Fish, bugs, birds, and frogs are found throughout her art, blending her dreams and vision with the natural world.

The gallery of quilts features both full images and detail shots. The photographs are bright and colorful, the illustrations clear and helpful. Ellen's quilts are divided into several series and themes, with each section offering her inspiration for that theme. It is Ellen's hope that by sharing her journey as an artist she can inspire her readers in their artistic journey.
Hand-dyed fabrics, layered sheers, and machine embroidery are spotlighted in these extraordinary quilts featuring birds, animals, and insects. Includes a step-by-step technical section.

What a metallic thread can do...From my blog post "How to stitch with metallic threads" here www.mrxstitch.com/how-to-stitch-with-metallic-threads/
I've always wanted to do a skull. I figured it was time. I'm keeping with the 'creepy Lisa Frank' theme.
This is my first attempt at stumpwork (the bow) and thread painting (eyes) and it went suprisingly well. Also, I figured out my archnemesis 'metallic thread' (bow and teeth), and we're BFFs now.
