... 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

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.

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!

I made this some time ago and don't remember where the pattern came from; but I think it's an older design, probably from one of Rita Weiss's collections for Dover Publications.

melbourne. it wasn't a huge bargain at $20 but the rusty little sewing scissors and number of wooden spools in a box handmade from an old cheese crate made it a pretty easy decision.
