any of a group of large, common, solitary (nonsocial) wasps in the family Sphecidae (order Hymenoptera) that are named for the stalklike anterior (front) end of the abdomen. Thread-waisted wasps are typically more than 2.5 cm (about 1 inch) long and are parasitic on insects and spiders. The host is often numbed by malaxation, a pinching or crushing of the neck by the wasp’s pincerlike jaws, and paralyzed by the wasp’s sting. The wasp places the host’s body in a mud cell and lays an egg on it. Upon hatching, the larva consumes the host.
Members of the tribe Sphecini are often black with orange or yellow markings on the abdomen. They nest in burrows and provision their cells with caterpillars, which are eaten by the wasp larva. The mud daubers (tribe Sceliphronini) are commonly black with yellow spots and yellow legs, although some are metallic blue. They usually build several mud cells placed together in the corners of eaves or ceilings. The cells are provisioned with paralyzed spiders. Wasps of the tribe Podiini provision their cells with cockroaches, and members of the tribe Chlorionini nest in the ground and provide grasshoppers and crickets for their larvae.

This long-sleeved tee is an elegant red color with a bleached design that has been painted in.
The original garment was rescued from a thrift store. It has been hand-washed and also machine-washed to wash away the dreaded “thrift store old person smell” and the bleach traces.
This shirt has also been hand-embroidered with embroidery thread to bring out the main design components. The thread fades from white to yellow and back as it goes along.
This one, in particular, had a certain strawberry styling, with the color and the flower on top, which has been emphasized.
There is no other garment in the world like this one.

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.

Yummy thread found on sale (1/2 off) at Hancock's. The box in the background is my mugrug and mug for swap 3 ready to go out. Thought it made a great background.
checking the threaded rod does go all the way through the nylon nut just being finished. I left the nylon nuts a bit tighter than the aluminum because I want them to turn stiffly so they are less likely to loose collmination accidentally twisting the poles.
This is my first Drawn Thread piece, and will certainly not be my last. I LOVED every minute of this, and was sad when I finished. I'm now a TDT addict, and have *cough* 10 more of their projects kitted up. :) This was stitched with the recommended NPI silks (1 over 2) on Antique Ivory Belfast linen.
