I made a jig which allows me to cut threads on a wooden box and this was the first attempt at trying it out. The box was turned from cocobolo for the body, african blackwood for the base and briar burl for the lid.

Thread-leaved Sundew by Jim Petranka

Drosera filiformis is one of the many carnivorous plants that occur in the southeastern US. This is a close-up of one of the filamentous leaves that has glandular trichomes that secrete a sticky solution that acts as an insect trap. I used backlighting from the sun to get the starburst effect for the sticky blobs.

For the Wall of Thread, I considered pegboard, and then at the craft store got SCHOOLED by a longtime crafter. "Don't ruin your walls, honey. Try Cardboard," he croaked. So I shopped, and there it was: Foamcore Board. BRILLIANT! Pictured is one length of foam board (20X30inches, 1/4inch thick, bronze, $1.29 a sheet!). It's attached to the wall easy peasy with a quilter's straight pin (they're xtra long) every 6 inches. Pins for holding threads are in 2inch increments -- this section will hold 24 skeins wide (depending on how close set pins are) and 3 down. This is lightweight (and in other thicknesses if you use funky fiber or heavy yarn), comes in many colors, and is totally modular -- perfect! These babies can even go into a portfolio and, voila, when I teach I'm completely mobile! BAM!

I made this using a white silk yarn and some dmc cotton perle thread... it was an easy pattern but a lot of little pieces until it came together :o)

Threaded Cards by Amanda Marksdottir

I came up with something I'm calling a "card cheat" for the London garters on pp. 142-144 of Textiles & Clothing: even though the original was probably woven on a rigid heddle loom, I decided to use card weaving to approximate these garters, as I had cards but no loom.

I did this with the understanding that the warp and weft interact rather differently in this kind of weaving, so the finished item wouldn't necessarily look exactly like the original, but I can get the same look.

Here, I show how I threaded my cards to get a similar pattern to the reconstruction shown on p. 144.
