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.
Did you know? “A baseball is stitched with red, waxed thread, using 108 double stitches (216 individual stitches) that are sewn by hand to join the two figure-8 leather pieces, a method standardized by MLB for visibility and performance.” Thanks ODC for making me learn new things!
This particular baseball is sentimental for me. I helped manage the Athletics budget and oversee some communications. I was young, obviously female, & NOT an athlete. That led to some difficulties. When the baseball coach and I finally reached a rapprochement, the entire team signed and gifted me this ball.
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!
New memorial to Stephen Simpson’s gold thread works in Avenham, Preston.
Amongst other things, Military badges, Christmas decorations and telephone cables, all incorporating gold and silver, were made at the factory until its closure in 1991.
During the Second World War factory bosses were given a top secret assignment -- to make authentic German badges for British spies. A small room in the factory had been used by women to produce authentic badges for English spies going to Germany in the Second World War.
Richard Arton, born in Preston in 1921, worked for Stephen Simpson’s. While here he was commissioned to design an evening bag that was presented to HRH Queen Elizabeth on her visit to the town in 1938. He also designed of the lettering and heraldic crests on the Wedding Cake of HRH Elizabeth II and Prince Philip and undertook refurbishment of the Royal Order Garters belonging to the Queen and Winston Churchill.
The old Gold Thread factory has been conveted into flats.
Sarvana Threading Studio
300 Monticello Ave, MacArthur Center, Norfolk, VA
This studio opened as Wink Threading Studio in October 2009; it was originally Fred Meyer Jewelers, which opened in March 1999 and closed in the late 2000s.
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 love thread! The colors are eye candy. The spools and bobbins look beautiful neat or messy. I love looking at the displays of color in stores where there are loads of spools. What a goof, eh?...but I know I'm not alone....
