Taken off the beaten track about 90km North East of Serra da Leba Pass in South-West Angola. Still not sure what species this is.
Book binders thread
Now I have to think of a binding that will show off the sewn structure. How hard can it be?
Continuing to use items plucked from storage as I organize my attic as subjects for photography.
Today it's small, Japanese spools of metalic thread lying upon a length of Tsumugi silk.

Threads Church on Milham Road. I believe that this structure was built within the last ten years; there used to be a small Baptist church on this property that looked more dated. This building obviously follows the architectural philosophy of building a church that doesn't look like a church. Expect to see more like this during this project.
Tripod mounted Canon XTi, Tokina 16-50mm f2.8. Three image HDR, stacked and tonemapped in Photomatix. Perspective correction using PTGui. The sky was duplicated as another adjustment layer to make it even bluer. Air temperature: 26 degrees F. No one was around to bother me.
things are hanging on a thread, a very thin thread... and the second thing is threat - it's the danger in the eye of a tiger.

This woman has been working to color the silk threads used in her weaving by tying plastic strips around the threads like tie dye. During our baseline survey in Bati, Takeo Province - Cambodia.

Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky.

I used to love coming down here for a look around. It was tangled, untroubled quiet and peaceful. It seemed time had stood still. Then inexplicably the tidy squad moved in and spoiled the restfulness, cut down the ivy, laid out the stones, bared the timeless tangles and it no longer held the mystery or even was the wildlife haven but when i venture a glance what is this? A plait of ivy stretching from tree to tree, as odd as the sticks laid across the bare earth? and the bones?
I am hopeless at wasp I.D. but I am guessing this is a Thread-waisted Wasp (Family Sphecidae). Any I.D. help much appreciated! [Lower Blue Mountains, NSW].
EDIT: Thanks to Maurice for identifying this as a Hatchet Wasp (Evaniidae).

Wales has a much celebrated tradition of creating both utilitarian and decorative textiles of distinctive design. From power-loomed blankets to hand-stitched quilts, textiles are a key part of Welsh visual culture and history.
Whilst ‘A Darker Thread’ takes this heritage as its starting point, twelve contemporary artists, designers and makers have been invited to exhibit work which subverts these expectations.
Exhibitors have been selected for their challenging, confrontational or unpredictable approach to making thoroughly contemporary work which confidently cross boundaries of art, design and craft. A variety of making processes are exemplified, but all make use of thread in some form.
The curious, provocative, intense, fragile works explore broad-ranging themes of empowerment, loss, language, internal landscapes, memory and gender to name but a few. Some work might still feel comfortably familiar through its materiality or typically ‘Welsh’ colour palette of black, ecru and red; much hopefully, does not.
