Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.

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.

My sewing machine came with many different feet, many of which I really don't know how to use. As a quilter, this is the most useful. It is a 1/4 inch foot which allows me to sew more accurate seams. I use it practically every day!

Sunday 20 October 2013: Yangon (ရန်ကုန်)
The first full day of the trip started with a walking tour of Yangon (ရန်ကုန်) (map), which took us west along Bogyoke Aung San Road, past betel sellers, umbrella repairers, pavement builders and modern shopping plaza and hotel complexes as far as Bogyoke (Scotts) Market where we turned south into the grid of smaller roads, thronged with stalls and shops, people and the occasional (crazy) car. Each street (or section of street) specialised in selling specific things - fruit and veg, fish and meat, flowers, sewing machines, thread and other bits, bobs and bobbins of haberdashery, books and newspapers, glasses (spectacles), bags, clothes, computers, kitchen ware ... With Josh leading the way we passed through the Chinese, Indian and Muslim quarters before arriving at Maha Bandula Park (မဟာဗန္ဓုလ ပန်းခြံ) and heading down Maha Bandula Park St to the PPQ Bakery, for coffee, cake, ice cream and loos. Then onwards through the old Colonial Quarter, and back to the hotel via St Mary's Cathedral.
All done in 90 minutes, we had the rest of the day until 4pm as free time, so I headed over to the main railway station and caught the 1.10pm anticlockwise departure on the Yangon Circular Railway (ရန်ကုန် မြို့ပတ် ရထား) which proved a good way to spend three hours, watching some of Yangon's suburbs and the surrounding countryside slide by at a suitably slow pace. I did have to leg it back to the hotel to make the 4pm rendezvous though.
Our minibus crawled through the traffic to Kandawgyi Lake (ကန်တော်ကြီး) where we made like the locals and strolled along the lakeside admiring the views out towards Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်) and took photos in front of the gigantic "duck" barge (a mega restaurant in both size and prices). Then, on through the traffic to visit Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်) itself where we spent a lovely hour circumnambulating the pagoda's central spire as the afternoon turned to evening. The downside of being left to our own devices was that I had very little idea what I was looking at, or indeed what specific sights to seek out - it's a vast complex of shrines. Great people watching though. An hour was nowhere near enough.
Making the most of the minibus hire, we were driven on to dine at the Padonmar restaurant, the lovely colonial villa setting compromised by the large number of tour buses and big tour groups that were there too. Eating in a sanitised, industrial scale restaurant, surrounded by lots of other tourists and with the only local people those taking our orders and serving our food was guaranteed to make me grumpy.

Spools for thread spun from rayon made at the American Viscose (Avisco) facility in Marcus Hook, PA..
There has been no rayon manufacturing done in this facility since at least 1963 and probably prior, so the color retention of the rayon spindles still loaded is amazing.

Really interested? Want to own a piece of this history? I have an expensive but beautiful photo book you can see, and order here. If you buy it, don't use "photo correction" if asked. Tell them to leave the book alone!

My sewing machine broke a while ago (it broke 3 times actually, the two last times within 15 minutes of receiving it from service). The online store I bought it at said it was OK to exchange it, but I wasn't really into buying another machine online after this.
Luckily my local sewing store took pity over me and allowed me to trade in my machine with them.
I was in today and picked out a Janome. It was cheaper than mine so I was allowed to pick out all these things to cover the cost. It was like Christmas!
I won't have to buy thread for a while.
