Im starting to get really excited for this years Thread Shed Throwdown on feb 13th 2010 ! ************ www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#/event.php?eid=269087585945&am... ***********
This is a photo from the set that i took for the flyer last season.
As much a i love my fashion and boudoir and nude photography I have a a strong passion for snowboarding and skateboarding photography. So I'll be shooting and selling my photos at the thread shed so COME ON DOWN !
Silver Thread Falls is the smaller of two falls at the Dingman's Falls area in Pennsylvania's Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
This was shot under poor conditions for waterfall photos. Silver Thread is in a gorge that looks like something from Jurassic Park and it was early afternoon on a sunny day. The dappled light coming through the trees created an array of bright and dark spots. I don't think I would have had anything usable if not for making a 5-exposure series and blending it in HDR software (Photomatix).

Please see my Flickr Photostream.
The threads is colored with hand made dye and is made to rotate on a wheel powered on motor. Its a tedious process and can take hours to complete a set
While at the art festival, we went to the kids craft area and spent quite a while creating some art of our own. Here, Kyleigh is threading some beads onto a leather strip which became a bracelet. It's interesting to note how her fingers have become more adept at fine detail work as she gets older. No longer clumsy and inaccurate, she is now able to coordinate her fingers with her mind to create things. It's been fun to watch her skills sharpen and refine themselves as she gets older.

Mod In The Springtime
Dress-Thrifted (Forever 21)-$4.99
Tights-Target
Shoes-DSW
Necklace-(Forever 21)
Beautiful day and I’m feeling a little Springtime Mod with the baby doll’esque dress. It’s a little short but the thick black tights make it “ok in my book”. I’m trying to rock my short dresses at work as much as possible—since I probably can’t get away with it in my new job in NYC—whatever that job may be.
I just can’t contain my excitement today. Dreams of NY have flooded my brain!!
Pull the fabric taught, a little bit from each side to keep the design centered. It should make a little noise when you tap on it, like a drum.
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.

Renaissance Perspective
Part of Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier
(May to October 2018)
Combining sensuality with nobility, Azzedine Alaïa prized velvet for its lustrous surface and tactility, for its innate ability to hide a complex web of seams in its pile, and for its connections to the richness of the past. Alaïa often used velvet in black, but also jewel-like tones of ruby red or deep blue reminiscent of Renaissance dresses. Alaïa succeeded in modernising velvet and lightening the fabric. He created featherweight stretch velour knits that mimicked the nap of velvet, and a semi-transparent velvet that seemed like a hybrid with chiffon.
These garments are presented on a series of dress forms designed by Alaïa himself. Originally based on the proportions of the supermodel Naomi Campbell, over the years Alaïa transformed these mannequins, turning them into sculptural objects in their own right. Every tweak in proportion required the garments to be entirely reconstructed, their patterns redrafted. In their final incarnation, these figures are elongated to resemble both the sculpture of Alberto Giacometti and the exaggerated proportions of fashion illustrations.
Conceived and co-curated with Monsieur Alaïa before his death in November 2017, the exhibition charts his incredible journey from sculptor to couturier, his nonconformist nature and his infectious energy for fashion, friendship and the female body.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Alaïa personally constructed each garment by hand and refused to bow to the pressures of fashion week deadlines, instead working to his own schedule. His collaborative approach earned him an esteemed client list, including Greta Garbo, Grace Jones, Michelle Obama and Rihanna.
Rather than a retrospective, the show interlaces stories of his life and career alongside personally selected garments, ranging from the rare to the iconic and spanning the early 1980s to his most recent collection in 2017.

This is a VINTAGE Japanese Large Patterned Komon. Komon are informal kimono worn at home and about town. They are essentially the jeans and t-shirt combo of the kimono world. The smaller the pattern on a komon, the more casual it is. This one has a large pattern, so it's a less casual piece. This kimono likely originates in the mid Showa Period (1926 - 1989). This komon has an abstract pattern that includes silver, laquered threads (urushi).
I have inspected this kimono in detail, and there are a few faint marks on the exterior. The lining is also heavily covered in patina. Overall I would rate this kimono as being in good vintage condition. There are no tears, holes or seam separations. I believe this garment is 100% silk.
MEASUREMENTS:150cm - Long (Collar to Hem)124cm - Arm span58cm - Width across the back124cm - Total width of skirt49cm - Sleeve drop
SIZING:If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 140cm (4'7") - 160cm (5'3") tall, with hips about 85cm (33.5") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.
Reproduction thread bobbins from the Mary Rose. The pigments would have been red lead and malachite in this case.
New batch of thread colors to be used for making wholesale orders this Spring. I love this thread, it's rayon and the colors are bright and lovely, it's also strong and shiny.
These are holders for potholders and I've only seen this kind that looks like a basket. Being a basket maker these are my favorites.
If you turn one of the sticks on its side, every other thread is lifted. This makes it easier to loop the thread heddles through, because the threads you're not working with are out of reach.
I saw Chinese thread books online and fell in love. I was doing a zentangle project…and decided to combine the two. Origami and I are not the best of friends…yet…so I had to make SO many boxes to get what I wanted…and ended up with 3 books. The boxes open in different ways and are stacked on top of each other to hold thread, pattern pieces, small scissors, buttons…etc. SO much fun!
