i crocheted these shawls out of quilting thread a couple of years ago and then never got around to blocking them or listing them till a customer asked about them recently, so i pulled them out to take pictures. i'd forgotten just how many i made! :lol: i'll be blocking them all this weekend and then listing them on etsy soon. if you are interested in any before that my email addy is in my profile.
These beaded balls were inspired by Japanese temari balls. They use 15/0 beads and were stitched to the base in a way to mimic the thread wrapping of traditional temari balls. The one on the right can be seen at Fujiyama Restaurant in Bristol, PA.

This is a beauty treatment that removes the facial hairs by the roots. Women who were getting married traditional had this treatment. It's still popular in Taipei, you can see it in night markets and sometimes in the park. The skills are kept within the families.
I'm not sure whether this is unique to Taiwan. I imagined it was practiced in China but whether it survived the cultural revolution, I don't know
If you know anything more about face threading, then please leave a comment - I want to find out more.
A selection of the threads I used. It was a great opportunity to use some of the (very) many threads I have. I only had to buy white - a lot - and the deep cream I used for construction.
7 Days of Shooting ... More than 10 ... Technique Tuesday (HDR)
High-dynamic-range imaging is a techniques used in photography to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than possible using standard photographic techniques. HDR images can represent more accurately the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is captured by taking several differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter and combining them. If you have HDR effect on your camera this can be done in camera. If you don't the same result can be achieved in a photo editing program.

This is my collection of the threads I cut after coloring linen. I have a project planned for them when I have a bit of extra time.
As Makar Sankranti is just around the corner, people all across Northern India are excited to fly kites.
Got to witness the thread making process in a small factory in Baroda. Where threads for kites were made, coloured and sold as per the customers' requirements. The thread color, quality, sharpness,etc. are all set as per each requirement from the customer
Once one end of the warp is secured in a knot, and the other pulled to create tension in the warp (however you want to accomplish this--I use a backstrap technique), you can start worrying about the direction in which the threads come through the cards.
Often, these threading directions are referred to, respectively, S and Z threading. I find these terms counterintuitive, so I don't use them, but many find them helpful.
When the "S" tablet is turned 90º toward the weaver, it creates a stitch that bends to the left. Correspondingly, when the "Z" tablet is also turned a quarter-turn toward the weaver, it will create a stitch that bends to the right.
The pin cushion is Heather Bailey's pattern.

Potholders crocheted using 6 strands of size 10 crochet thread together and a size 1 (2.75mm) hook. These are easy to make, thick and get better with each machine washing and drying. Have made these for years and this is my favorite potholder pattern.

Threading hair is an ancient method commonly practiced in Eastern countries, like Egypt and India. A cotton thread is pulled along unwanted hair in a twisting motion to trap hair in a mini lasso, plucking the hair at the follicle.
This one I just made without any pattern- I realized, that crochet is a bit like sculpting- just add stiches, where you need them to get shape you want.
Urban threads "Rebel" design. Of course, you can see it doesn't say Rebel--I took out that word and put in SAND. Why? Because my husband and I spend a lot of time at the sand dunes riding ATVs...I made these pants to wear while riding!
See some of my stuff at my Etsy Store!
Thick thread stitches
from the Cactus Queen
meant to mend
but instead
poked and fashioned
fancy flesh tunnels
for her hungry worm hoards
to hide within
such a sin
cunning, crazy Cactus Queen
desert witch doctor
waits in moonlit sand
longing for an outstretched hand

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!
