Weekly Photo Challenge: Half Light

My partner needed a weight for the bridge on the guitar. the original owner of the guitar had used contact cement to adhere the bridge – so my partner being a guitar guy had to fix it to make it right. When he applied the glue he needed a weight so he chose the glass. Made for an interesting shot.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Frame of Mind

One hand, one decanter and way too many fingers.

Weekly Photo Challenge:Community

Sustenance for All. This is bench made by the community for the community!The bench is a cob cement creation with bits of wood, stone, glass, pottery, plastic, and other foundling to entice the viewer.The community makers sculpted on the back an Otter and hands to hold the sitters.

My unusual sewing supplies and tools.

Little bags filled with glass beads for sand blasting for pattern weights and they double as pin cushions.

Vintage glass stoppers also work well in a pinch!

I also use an old eyeglass case to cart around the pin cushions, pens, ect. Funky and it works.

Years ago I used dental floss to gather a skirt for an Afghan Nomad Dress by Folkwear Patterns. I made the traditional skirt and used 5 meters of raw pink silk – it is a lot of weight and needed some extra strength. I made the dress 25 years ago and it still fits! Too warm for summer ware and the big sleeves are best suited for capes not coats.

You can find the pattern here. http://www.folkwear.com/107.html
