#Silk and thread

[twistedkittyart]

Recycled sari silk and silver thread hoop earrings. These are stainless steel hoops and 5cm x 5cm.

giant bags of thread collected by old ladies over their lifetimes and never used, then donated to antique shops or sold on FB Marketplace, save me

protect and preserve me, immense ziplock bags full of 50 years' "oh but I have to have the EXACT SHADE of this fabric even though I'll never use 300 yards of thread!"

("Marzi why not buy new thread?" 99% of it is plastic and finding more than a handful of colors in cotton thread is incredibly rare in brick-and-mortar stores. let alone thread in fibers besides polyester and cotton, or buttonhole twist)

("come on, now, Marzi- THREAD can't possibly make you sweat more or catch fire and stick to your skin while burning, and isn't that your reasoning for using only natural-fiber fabrics?" listen. Irrational Brain Like When Zero Plastic. don't @ me)

Anyone have any advice on how to make silk thread not do this?

[simply-sithel]

Feeling like I need to try harder to post here a bit more. For my own sake. Undocumented projects are bound to be forgotten and being reminded of past works brings joy.

Tried to frame today as a "do whatever I want" day-- and apparently what I want is bookbinding. And tablet weaving, which has haunted me since @marvinhere started making it look so fun/interesting/full of potential. Have been feeling the itch of a new interest really start to bubble forth lately - have woven two bands so far and this is my third.

Of course bookbind can lovingly absorb such labors/interests. @chubsonthemoon's bookcloth is such a beautiful and inspiring piece, have been looking for a way to similarly slam these two interests together like a toddler with a pair of pots.

Minis are my MO and I've been long on the lookout for sufficiently tiny bookmarks (most ribbons being comically large when incorporated) -- I have also been interested in testing out a 2 (rather than 4) hole card/weave.

Thankfully stoned me last night, when pulling the thread needed for sewing the textblock, had an absurdly long excess when done... Which made me realize I could just weave the bookmark directly into the textblock (and anchor the rest of the warp by just looping it around the kettle stitches)

Saturday crafting in the sun- you can see the shadow of the binder clip I use to anchor the ends. Book is in tiny press and tiny press is in lap, allowing me to apply tension while also weaving off to the side (am still struggling with posture/form - I do not want/like to anchor it to my waist)

Having a good time. Brewing up more combo ideas...

// clarifying before this, there's a lot going on for this particular rui at the moment. so he's going to be quite downcast throughout the thread.

Hi, dear~

Hm...? You don't look so well, is everything alright?

[t4textiles]

learn even the tiniest amount about historical fashion and textiles and you will experience rage beyond comprehension that all the soft, durable, beautiful fabrics have been taken from us and replaced by plastic and cheaper manufacturing

lowkey gave up and knocked about 3 yards off my petticoat project hem,,,, so it's a 16 yd hem instead of 19 yards. will you ever forgive me ??

BUT!!! THAT MEANS!! IT'S OVER?? I GET TO DO SOMETHING ELSE*??

one day you'll be a skirt....

*the "something else" in question marks probably the beginning of my terrible plan to make over 100 eyelets (by hand) in the next tier of the petti to thread a ribbon detail through. because i am a deranged individual.

I wanted to draw :) Specifically Dick & Kurt and Lorna, but everyone else seemed like they'd be fun. I found the pose referenced I used for Tim and I was like "oh this has to be Timmy it just has to be!"

Did I put everyone except Nat in their own merch? pfft no you can't prove anything

damnnn I hate it when tumblr doesn’t show me posts from my mutuals and I have to scour through their blogs to see what I missed. How barbaric. Especially hate it when I can tell my own posts aren’t being shown. Listen when I post I want EVERYONE to see it. Like look at this

A question for my fiber craft folks (not that I don't have enough hobbies... Buuut)

My entire area is currently being infested with fall web worms

And I noticed they're very preferentially setting up on all the mulberry trees in the area, like silkworms so now I'm wondering if I go tear down a few dozen handfuls of web worm nests can I card and spin the fiber into a thread?

I think with all the tree debris I'm bound to get there's no way I'll be able to unravel long threads like from a cocoon, but I bet I could card most of the debris out. Got any tips tricks methods for me to test carding and hand spinning this stuff with minimum new purchases? How can I a Jerry rig something together for a trial? Got any spinning for beginners resources?

I'd love to make my own silk thread/yarn to do the stitching/embroidery on a silk barong Tagalog I'm attaching pearl and mother of pearl beads to rn inspired by a creation in my novel SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW

I plan to go out tomorrow and collect some nests, my partner has reported that they are not sticky. Will report back on my findings
