An art installation made by threads and different fabrics on display during Karachi Literature Festival held at the Beach Luxury Hotel in February 2017.
of note -- I have 125 heddles on each shaft, but this project only uses 25 heddles on each shaft AND it uses the full width of the loom. So I had to thread every 5th heddle on each shaft to spread the heddles more or less evenly throughout the shaft (sometimes I threaded every 6th or every 3rd, it just depended on what I grabbed).

Today was a tough one, I must have snapped a couple of dozen blue things but it's so horrid and grey here. Nothing looked right so it was back to the sewing box again.
Threads of Thought Lesson 14 Watercolor shapes & stencils. I made a bunch of shapes on copy paper. The girls selected theirs and I traced on a lightbox to watercolor paper. It was really thick so I cut them out. I also did some faces on the very small pieces. The eldest did watercolor and splatters on hers. On the back we did watercolor pencils. I did some acrylic paint shapes and they wrote their words on those. We used letter tape to close the stencils (I did not use an xacto knife with two little ones bumping around). We hung them from embroidery hoops and put beads on the bottom for weights to make our Threads of Though mobiles.
i'm a volunteer photographer for Red Thread Sessions -- providing Homecoming Photo sessions, new Family Photo Sessions, etc for families who have recently adopted. This beautiful family was my first Homecoming Session at the airport. What a darling girl they brought home from Taiwan! Grandparents and friends were waiting at the airport and I did my best to capture their first sight of their new baby girl.
This striking member of the sundew family is distinctive with its stringy leaves covered with glistening droplets of sticky exudate. Insects trapped in the sticky hairs are digested by plant enzymes. Researchers have found that substantial quantities of protein from the insects end up in the storage roots demonstrating the importance of this source of nutrients. The southern plants are larger than the northern and are considered by some authorities to be the separate species D. tracyi. Thread-leaved sundew is dependent upon Coastal Plains Ponds in their northern range and have become quit rare throughout much of their range.
