I read and play with string. I watch over >1 vintage sewing machines.

Spinner, knitter, bobbin lacemaker, weaver. Sometime tatter, netmaker, chair caner.
Bread maker, weather geek, chicken photographer.

No longer exactly sure how many vintage sewing machines are hanging around here.

Follow requestsMostly approved if I can figure out why you'd want to!

This is a gray tree frog, Hyla versicolor, outside my bedroom window. Twee fwog says BRRRRRRRRRRRRT!

This is the inside of my bobbin lace roller pillow, while I washed and dried the cover.

From the inside out: a sturdy cardboard roll, pale green wool fabric, charcoal gray wool fabric, a layer of camping pad (freshly re-duct-taped at the seam), a sewn green wool cover.

The blue cover that goes over all was out in the sun drying.

Red-headed woodpecker from back when I visited my brother "up north" (northern lower Michigan).

LOL. How it's going...

I think I'm about to screw up the closure. But we'll see.

Progress was slow lately as I was trying to figure out how to hide ends. I decided that I needed more sea and wake at the bottom edge and that later I can sew in some ends within that.

We'll see if that works too, but it will be a while.

Kirjoittelinpa (lontooksi) vähän prosessikuvausta tuosta taannoisesta Irlannin-keikasta. Että tämmöistä mun elämään. https://www.thorstrom.com/cyclogenesis-a-process-description/ #BobbinLace #lace #pitsi #pitsinnypläys #PublicArt #JulkinenTaide #FibreArt #TextileArt
