took 4,000 yards of size 10 thread
Started in Nov 2004 & "finished" 3/17/07 (but still needs edging and blocking as of Dec 2007)
The thread is Knit-Cro-Sheen, almond pink, size 10. Crocheted with a Boye size 6 hook.
The design is by Mary Werst, "Exceptional" from Extra-Special Doilies, Leisure Arts Booklet #3588.
Handheld using sunlight at 18mm on a reversal ring f/3.5 for 1/500 of a second. I used Rawtherapee to process the RAW file into a JPG and set a custom tone curve.
The brown/olive thread was used to stitch the ripped edges of the blanket I sleep with.

Several months ago, not long after I first got my flash, I made a flash 'bounce card' modelled after the one found at www.themoment2cherish.com/DIY-Bounce-Card/
It cost me a total of $2, for two pieces of A4 foam paper from a local art shop. I had some elastic and velcro already. The velcro had a sticky back, so I just stuck it straight to the elastic, and it worked great.
For a while.
Then the velcro would pull off the elastic with a little bit of pressure after it had been under strain for a while. And it gradually got worse, until this week it will barely stay together long enough to take one photo with it.
So, I did was any self-respecting guy would do. I asked my mum to sew the velcro to the elastic for me.
It was a very quick job for her, it was over in about 10 mins. The needle was even already threaded in her sewing tin. Threaded with floss. Somehow I think it's very fitting that this DIY project is held together with floss! (I am the son of a dentist, after all).
Today I am grateful for Grammy sharing her talents, and for all who freely share their talents to improve the lives of others.
