Cuando vi por primera vez esta carpeta, produjo sobre mí un efecto inesperado: consiguió hacerme olvidar que estaba frente a una obra compartida, frente a la suma de dos voluntades artísticas pactando un acuerdo, un entendimiento creativo. Me encontré frente a una gran unidad conceptual, ante la permanente presencia, grabado a grabado, de un solo gesto, un gesto único que transcurría frente a mis ojos en un ejercicio de armonía plástica que resultaba una experiencia sensible de gran calado. Las tres fotos de Prats, los tres dibujos/pinturas de Ruibal me hablan en un mismo lenguaje, llegan a los mismos puntos de mi percepción emocional, son, entre si, referentes, y parecen citarse formando una trama que no llego a explicarme del todo pero que produce un notable goce estético. Invito con entusiasmo a recorrer esta carpeta, a detenerse en cada uno de sus grabados, en sus matices, su poética por momentos desengañada, por momentos ascética, pero siempre gobernada por una armonía de formas y contenido que, en lo personal, me ha deslumbrado. La íntima felicidad que produce el arte adquiere, así sea por momentos, la forma de una carpeta de dos artistas cuyos códigos creativos se descifran aquí.
Carpeta de confección artesanal que contiene 6 grabados originales, numerados, firmados de puño y letra por los autores y de edición limitada, tamaño 29×42 cm, impresos en papel Somerset enhanced Velvet de 255 gramos, 100% algodón.
De esta carpeta sólo se han hecho 40 ejemplares y III Pruebas de Artista. Los pasos intermedios de realización de los grabados fueron destruidos una vez hecho el mencionado tiraje, de modo que no se harán nuevas ediciones.

When I first saw this folder, it had an unexpected effect on me: it made me forget that I was looking at a shared work, to the sum of two artistic minds agreeing a deal, a creative understanding. I found myself facing a conceptual unit with the permanent presence, engraving after engraving, of a single gesture, one gesture that developed before my eyes in an exercise of plastic harmony resulting in a deeply sensitive experience. The three photos by Prats, the three drawings / paintings by Ruibal speak the same language, reach the same points of my emotional perception, are a reference to each other, and appear to quote each other forming a pattern that I cannot entirely explain myself but that yields a significant aesthetic enjoyment. I enthusiastically invite to look through this folder, to stop at each print, at its nuances, at its sometimes disappointed, sometimes acetic poetry, always governed by a harmony of form and content, which personally has dazzled me. The inner happiness brought by art takes, if only for moments, the shape of a folder by two artists whose creative codes are deciphered here.
Handcrafted folder containing 6 original prints, numbered, hand signed by the author, limited edition, size 29 × 42 cm, printed in 255 gram Somerset Enhanced Velvet paper, acid-free, 100% cotton.
Only 40 copies and III Artist Tests of this folder have been made. The intermediate steps were destroyed after printing, therefore there will not be any new editions.

This wasp is very common throughout the US. It avoids humans but captures and paralyzes smooth bodied caterpillers which serve as food for wasp larva. Eggs are laid in ground burrows.
Thread Waisted Wasps have very colorful abdomens but they move so fast it is a challenge to capture the insect in focus with all body parts showing.
Droseraceae: Drosera filiformis

Louis Carney was the demonstrator in the Kreinik booth at Fall Quilt Market 2011. Here he used Kreinik metallic threads in the needle to embellish a placemat with this digitized embroidery design from a Janome sewing machine
............أنا وحزني
وبقايا جمر
،وهذا الليل يطوي في مداه أسرار العابرين
هاهي ليلة تقف صرخاتي في تجاويفها
كصرخات الحائرين
،على مفارق الطرق
أجمع خيوط حزني
إلى فراغ وحدتي المخضلّة بالدمع
لأنسج آهة مكبوتة
.. تزفر في جوف الليل
(يوسف الحربي)
In honor of Thread the Needle Day, why not make this sweet little spool to help thread your sewing needle?
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.
Playing with a little Canon G10 point & shoot I bought to reduce the amount of photo gear I lug to work (when cycling)or on family outings.
This is two pairs of children's scissors swinging on a thread in front of an LCD monitor, polariser held in front of lens (rotated to blackout) Only light passing through the scissors is visible to the camera hence the internal glow effect.
A side benefit of the installation piece is an abundance of thread left over from the strips, these are hung for the birds to use for nesting material.
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
-G. Loew

... for longevity.
3 1/2 metres of red silk thread for 3 1/2 generations. One of the essentials for the Chiu Tau ceremony (the coming of age ceremony) on the eve of the wedding for the Peranakans. The tread to wish the bridal couple a long life of 3 1/2 generations. Picture taken during a shoot to have accompanying slides for a talk by an expert on things Peranakan next Tuesday
