Experimenting with effects. A reel of thread in the centre of my glass table. The table is supported by a single silvery pole in the centre, which is reflecting the thread through the glass, & the pink is from the transparent pink chairs which also have silvery legs.
I used Ana Rimoli's pattern from the book, Amigurumi Toy Box. I used punch embroidery thread to get him this size

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.

For Our Daily Challenge: Beginning
Needle and thread - the beginning of new clothes, creativity, a new hobby.
Advertising used to be so cool! This is just thread used to restring a necklace but the art is so nice too! What happened to adverstising is what I want to know... I have one of these in green too (somewhere)
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.
365 Days in Colour - 108/365
Just over half way through the month and I'm starting to run out of yellow things around the house! I can see I'm going to have to get out and about if I'm going to be able to finish this month.
Today my sister and her husband came up to visit. We haven't seen them since New Years day so it was good to get together with them.
