At his thread ceremony. head shaved, the ceremonial rice grains thrown at him were hurting him a little... He was really happy, though.
Sometimes, when I see how everything constantly evolves, maybe there is no need for all these elaborate ceremonies. The purpose is not clear. These occasions were meant for something very practical. I was arguing with another one of my cousins, the very superfluity of such ceremonies, and why we don't need them in such magnitude in today's given scenario. But he proved me wrong. It was all necessary...
We are a capitalist society, and its prime aspect is the consumer. or SPENDING.
After all, we all are responsible citizens of the country. We must spend to keep our economy alive. This whole thing is fairly simple...
Spend, so that others may survive...
My cotton thread keeps binding up and breaking off in my machine. I think for the next quilt that I machine quilt, I'll try a different brand of thread.
Sketch #1 from the Let's Capture Our Memories 52 Week Sketch Challenge
Used the January Studio Calico Kit.
One of Patricia Kristoffersen's more baroque designs. Fun to make, and as all know I'm a sucker for pineapple patterns. The hardest part was actually the rows of sc that the tr get laid over (just inside the pineapples). I think she must have a much looser hand than I do

NIKON D600 + 90.0 mm f/2.8 @ 90 mm, 1/125 sec at f/45, ISO 200
In the grounds of Sydney’s Royal Botanical Gardens – I was directed by some friends to check out this absolutely enormous spider (a Golden Orb) in a web hanging out in the open area (perhaps it was trying to catch bats or a small bird :))
I killed ambient by shooting a fastish shutter (1/125th) with a tightly closed aperture to also gain some depth of field this close (f/45) and then lit the spider from the side to highlight it’s shape and the fine threads using an off camera flash with a kiss of light from the front using my LED macro ring light.

Made: April 15, 2011.
I've got surprisingly good finish @85 rpm and 0.005" deep cut. Hard to say, what exactly helped: very solid and thick boring bar, intensive cleanup (every two passes), intensive lubrication (it works better with internal threads), or all these factors.
But on the next photo you can see the thread surface in high magnification, and it looks good.
Another great sign for me is to get it without any signs of visible burr.
Chinese people believe a couple is doomed to be together & connected by the " red thread" of fate. People pray for love by hanging on red threads on a tree outside the temple for " fate of love".
