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.
In honor of Thread the Needle Day, why not make this sweet little spool to help thread your sewing needle?
Orange, yellow, pink, and black embroidery thread. I expect to use this mostly for detail work on amigurumi and stuffed toys.
My superstar work colleague Pav threaded my eyebrows for me today. It took 2 minutes and looks brilliant! She learnt how to do it from a relative who lived in India. It hurt... but it was worth it :)
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)

Thanks to Buglady1104 for the ID. He was about as wide as a quarter, very delicate. Not a particularly beautiful bug but he was interesting. I found him hanging out on a sprite melon.

Le Banc Afrique's yearly report
We designed a series of cover designs and content layouts for the African Development Bank's yearly report & Statistical Addendum.
We aimed to give the design a colourfull twist that evokes the love of colours the african people have, and not give any preference to any specific part of Africa. The ADB is a multinational institution and is represented as such in this design treatment.
assorted embroidery threads, scraps from cross stitch projects over the years... mostly 12-18 inches in length
found some nice visualizations from an old ibm research paper, this one showing email thread 'arcs'.
From a project now appearing on the Kreinik website, I used Kreinik Iron-on metallic threads on a styrofoam egg. www.kreinik.com/shops/Iron-on-Easter-Egg.html
