1920's hand-crocheted silk lace outfit. the dress which is calf length with an overskirt gathered onto a low waistband and ruched on one side to form an asymmetrical hem was crocheted from silk thread, then dip dyed by hand to create an ombre effect on both the skirt and the dress before joining the pieces and adding the crocheted flowers. the cocoon jacket was also ombre dyed to match. the purse was made of coordinating cotton thread and hand beaded. a partial wig with finger waves and full fashioned stockings complete the ensemble.

Threading pattern (Finnish Twill from the Davison book) is taped on the castle. While I initially thought suspending the cross was a cruel joke, I now think it is brilliant.
These insects are very hard to photograph. It is like trying to shoot a photograph of a five foot long piece of spagetti. If you look closely you will see there is an eye and a beak like mouth part folded directly under the head. For best view click on all sizes and then click on original size.
Thanks to Cotinis and Nachoman for correcting me on the ID. It makes sense that this is a kind of assassin bug. The mouth part is perfect.

Thread-legged bugs are pretty damn sweet. Saw this guy hanging out around the lamps when I cam home this evening, and was glad I was able to relocate him when I returned with my camera (it's about 1 cm long). I love the wing veination. Observed in Oakland, CA.
Sketching with thread....! I tried to use a continuous line but the thread broke! Experimenting with using watercolor.
At an auction I found a big bag full of colour coordinated sewing threads. Of course, I had to get them because of the wonderful colour combos!

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.
