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.

-Tube No.27929, U.S. Mach. Corp, Gun, 37mm M3
The only feature differentiating the M3A1 from the M3 is the threaded end of the muzzle, intended for a muzzle brake that was never actually issued or used.
Silk thread roti - the threads made of caramelised sugar and then eaten in a roti - is a desert created in Ayutthaya. A mix of Indian subcontinent and Thai cuisines, the dish here was made by a Muslm family living in Ayutthaya and I was told that it is typically sold in the street by Muslim vendors.
The colours can vary - the green sugarsilk is coloured by use of the pandan/pandanus leaf.
The 12th running of the Fields of Athenry 10km took place on St. Stephen's Day, December 26th 2013 at 11:00 in Athenry, Co. Galway, Ireland. Due to the very icy and frosty conditions for health and safety considerations the race start was delayed by a half an hour and started at the slightly later time of 11:30. The winter sun began to rise high into the sky and the earlier icy roads thawed sufficiently to allow for road racing and avoid a potential abandonment of the event. This worked out perfectly and the conditions were perfect for road racing. This follows on from the near apocalyptic rain conditions for the race last year.
This is one of the leading 10KM road races in Ireland. It is hard to believe that the race is "only" twelve years old. It's superb organisation, atmosphere, and great race history gives it the characteristic of a race that is many years older. The credit for this goes to the wonderful athletics club in Athenry AC and the Race Director for 2013 Frank Burke and his team of volunteers. The attention to every detail in the race which this year attracted over 1,200 participants means that the race has earned it's stripes as one of the leading road races in Ireland. This year the race coupled with Athenry Tidy Towns Committee. A contribution from the proceeds from this year's race will be made to support the work of the Tidy Town Committee.
The race started at the Railway station and then took in a loop of the famous fields of Athenry where it turns left and begins it's return to the town, passing the soccer club, over the railway lines, and finishing under the medival arch in Athenry town for a fittingly atmospheric finish to the race. Race HQ is in the Presentation College in Athenry. Post race showers, prize giving ceremony, and refreshments were provided in the College after the race.
We have a very extensive set of photographs from this year's event. The link to the full set of photographs on this Flickr photostream is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/11553763974/. There are some photographs of the race start and photographs of the race finish from the 1st across the line until the 55 minutes finish time.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Formed in 1875, just a few year after the Canadian Confederation, the RCMP not only became one of the most enduring symbols of Canada but also a great ambassador to represent our beloved nation worldwide. The RCMP Musical Ride is one of the best ways for anyone, Canadian or otherwise, to experience Canada’s unique heritage and identity.
To celebrate 100 Years of Fun at the PNE 2010, a full team of 32 RCMP police officers on horseback came to Vancouver’s Agrodome to perform the Musical Ride from Aug 26-31, 2010. Once again, the crowd at the Pacific National Exhibition fairgrounds got to enjoy these scarlet-uniformed riders did a variety of cavalry drills: The Maze, Threading of The Needle, The Star, The Doom, The Charge and even the Olympic Rings (four rider circles with the audience forming the 5th ring.)
The crowd not only marveled at the skill, discipline and teamwork displayed, they also admired the riders (about half of which were women) of their dedication to their profession. As a bonus at the end of the performance, the public got to meet the police officers underneath the broad-brimmed Stetson hats. [Photos & Videos by Ray Van Eng] www.vancouver21.com

A simple shirred sundress for Hopeful Threads. Blogged at crafts4lily.blogspot.com/2012/04/hopeful-threads-dress-gi...
I made a wrapped thread detail....woohoooo what fun! And, then, I decided ...hey...this could be a button loop, so, I stitched on two lovely shell buttons.... wrapped my initial two threads probably a bit too loosely around one button for length....and carried on with wrapping. I will probably go ahead and do the second loop... try to get them the same length...and then, move the buttons a bit further away .. or not...I'll see what it all looks like when I finish my second 'wrapping'...more FK and other detailing to come at the base...
EEC 2013 (Embroider, Embellish, Create)
Temari are decorations and were a game enjoyed by people in the New Year but have experienced a decline over the years. Actually, in recent years they have been enjoying a revival and I heard the became popular in foreign countries.
15" Trail Rider, Rough Out, Round Skirt, High Peak (Peaked Pommel), 5" Deep Dish Cantle, Black Suede, Small R/O Chaps, #18 Leather Horn, Dark Chocolate Dye, Allison Ray Rigging, Blue thread stitching on all saddle, Upgrade JWatt Hardware, No Hoof Pick Pocket, Customer Sent Conchos, Endurance Stirrups.
This embroidery thread came in a bag of vintage zippers from the thrift store. anyone interested in swapping some fabric for these? I don't embroider so I won't use these. There are 57 different pieces (not necessarily different colors) and some blank cards.
would love a FQ of Momo wonderland (like the butterfies). or try me if you are interested!
Urban Thread's dragonfly, on new towels! Since the design is lacy (ish), I decided to add a chintz background applique-style, so that the fuzzy towel didn't poke up through the dragonfly and obscure its design. I also have the smaller dragonfly size and will probably put that on a couple of hand towels. I'm loving my new dragonfly-themed bathroom!
See some of my stuff at my Etsy Store!
Xander loves when I swish this old piece of thread around for him to bat his paws at. And every so often, as seen at the end of this video, he gets the better of me and catches it.
Barefoot sandal, free pattern on my website for them. Quick to make although, I can think of no reason I'd ever wear them.
Antique Drawn-Thread Lace sampler that I found with my grandmother's things. She didn't sew so it must have been made in the late 1800's. Very fine fabric. Piece is a 5"square.
One of the prizes on her Easter hunt was a sewing kit for making fancy hair pieces. She learned to thread the needle, make a start knot, stitch, gather, make a square knot, and make a finish knot.
With my first cup of coffee in had this morning, I hear this amazing crash! Have you ever had over 100 spools of thread crash to the ground?!
Still sitting where they landed, I haven't had the heart to pick them up!!!
My studio has been so busy lately with casting, machining and 3D printing that I haven't had much time to update the build thread of this project.
Let me update you all on the progress of the Lunar Module:
I've been slowly chipping away on all the rivet detailing, as well as cleanup. Here you can see the hatch aperture being milled to the correct depth just before the forward hull was moulded for a second time- as previously stated, this is so that I can capture all the texture and detail without the fragility of the techniques I used to get that effect.
The photo featured of the silicone mould (in pale green) is the mould directly after it had cured, so before any cleanup to remove debris left inside.
Since the latest cast from the new mould is just one of the prototypes, I wanted to see how the model looks with paint.
I used Halfords matt black spray paint, followed up with a custom mixture of Tamiya XF15 and XF20 (Flat Flesh and Medium Grey), then Alclad II Chrome for the metallic areas.
I then painted the rivets and tape detail with Tamiya X11 (Silver), before attaching gold thermal blanket using 3M 2mm double sided tape. I discovered that gluing the thermal blanket doesn't work at all, since any solvents dissolve the gold coating.
The descent stage (DS) has been laser cut from 3mm Perspex according to the dimensions laid out in my CAD model- 1mm half round styrene strips have then been added to accurately replicate the ribs and stringers. I chose to use half round rather than a more accurate square profile for ease of moulding.
The Sketchup model I've been working on concurrently with the physical build will be available to purchase as SKP and STL files when it's complete- as you can see, I have done my best to closely copy the LM interior according to reference photographs and NASA/Grumman documentation.
If you'd like to stay up to date with this project and many others we're working on, consider following our Facebook and Instagram feeds @archiveandfuture.
Thank you all for your interest so far in this build!
