Installation in the stairwell, made in conjunction with the exhibition Threads of Feeling at the Foundling Museum. All the ribbons came from V V Rouleaux, the ribbon shop in Marylebone.
About the exhibition: "Threads of Feeling will showcase fabrics never shown before to illustrate the moment of parting as mothers left their babies at the original Foundling Hospital, which continues today as the children’s charity Coram.
"In the cases of more than 4,000 babies left between 1741 and 1760, a small object or token, usually a piece of fabric, was kept as an identifying record. The fabric was either provided by the mother or cut from the child’s clothing by the hospital's nurses. Attached to registration forms and bound up into ledgers, these pieces of fabric form the largest collection of everyday textiles surviving in Britain from the 18th Century."

I picked these colors to embroider the sleeve for my new phone. The thread name is Farao Egipcio. It's a twisted 2-ply thread. I've never heard of this thread before!

When I was taking out the garbage this afternoon, I noticed a BIG bag filled with thread next to the chute! Of course I had to take it with me! It was full of thread. Well over 100 spools. Mostly Coats & Clarks, and mostly on plastic spools so it can't be too old. I usually buy Gutterman, but I'm not about to turn away free thread!
For MacroMay.
Threads from the original selection that did not make the cut. I still like these together and so I did a photo to remember before they go back in the boxes.
These threads made the cut. Used 15 different threads. Filled all the holes. Should have looked at Karen's work again before starting. Thought every hole needed to be used and also was stressing because there were gaps between each one. The paper I'm using is quite thick.

That poor piece of thread jutting out of my towel didn't stand a chance against Hanzo.
I'm really looking forward to this weekend because I haven't had quality time with my new macro lens. This entire week has been evenly split between work and sleep. I just feel I'm ready to pounce on some great macro shots but I've had to make do with random objects around the house.
This weekend, I will make time and get past "Ready, Set."
