Over my spare time i would make these braceletes for sale. Not sure if i should start doing them again. Much work but the result totally pays off!
Made with vintage thread.
Shank on back if you want to sew it on.
Usually I just sew through the middle directly but as this thread is a bit thicker than I usually use for this button size (1.5cm) I thought I would try this shank and I think it works quite well.
The stitching on my camera strap cover. Taken with a hand-held Canon SX20 with a Raynox DCR lens attachment.
Varieties of threaded running stitch and more varieties of herringbone stitch. This will eventually get more beads/French knots added.
For stitch detail, see the large or original size.

For Our Daily Challenge: Beginning
Needle and thread - the beginning of new clothes, creativity, a new hobby.
Underside of my practice sandwich (thus the crazy loops and colors). Straight row of stitching on top was my current test. The dark grey is the bobbin thread. The blue tail is the top thread (both Aurifil 50wt) that broke while sewing.
Now it's time to start the hand work -- can't tell here that the organza is really shiny and pretty and gives nice depth. But it does. ;)
This image is a little blurry. Wasps tend to be in constant motion so it is hard to get a clear shot. I was surprised to learn this was a thread waisted wasp. The abdomen is not as long as some but it does have a very thin waist. I will look for this wasp again next year and try to get a clearer image.
Identification
Thread waisted wasps are distinguished by their long abdomen and stalked (petiolate), giving the body a "thread-waisted" appearance; middle tibiae with two apical spurs; body may be all black (sometimes tinged with metallic blue or green), black and red, yellow and black, or white and black.
Most species nest in the ground, usually in areas that have sparse or no vegetation; some species construct aerial nests composed of mud; a few species nest in hollow plant stems or abandoned bee burrows in logs.
Food
Larvae feed on the paralyzed bodies of a variety of arthropods (the host varies according to wasp species) provided to them by adult wasps; common hosts include spiders, grasshoppers, and caterpillars.
Adults feed on nectar from flowers and extrafloral nectaries, honeydew, and body fluids of their prey.
The threads of silk as they are fed through a long line of winding silk in a factory in Suzhou, China. The elements of line are not only seen in the silk threads but also in the perspective of the long line of the working machine.
Never look at jeans the same way again.
Taken for the "Threads" challenge over on SLR Macro Photography.
No, I don't crochet, but I did hold it long enough to take this shot. I'm getting so tired of job hunting that I find myself taking a lot more photos.
