Well, hello! I am Cindy Moon, aka Silk from The Amazing Spider-Man! Apparently she was bit by the same spider that bit Peter Parker! 🤯 This was an INCREDIBLY fun look to paint. Heavily inspired by both @mcroft07 and @kaypikefashion 💜💙💜💙💜

I haven't tied flies in hand for a couple of months. I caught a juvenile spotted bass with one of these on the Ocmulgee River yesterday. It was the only fish that I caught, and I caught it before my first cast! The fly was drifting in the water while I was peeling line off of the reel.
The silk thread came from a lot of vintage silk on eBay.
🧵 1/ My new #VisibleMending project: This linen-yarn T-shirt is a memento of my dog, who once got stuck at the bottom with his claw and tore a hole. It's darned in the shape of a yellow beetle. To make the whole thing more harmonious, I'm going to do a few small appliqués elsewhere today. @visiblemending
🧵2/ Process of "harmonising" a T-Shirt that had a very flashy #VisibleMending with an embroidered beetle. There are no holes under the appliqués, they are used to create the overall look. Next comes a vertical appliqué from the right edge of the collar. @visiblemending@fibrearts
While I was spinning and plying I was convinced this would turn out fantastically ugly, but on the skeinwinder it doesn't look so bad. Maybe it's the lighting.
Je me suis battue tout le week-end avec cette pelote, passant 5 fois plus de temps à démêler qu’à tricoter 😤 😢. Déjà au bobinage ça ne s’était pas très bien passé, probablement parce que le fil de soie est trop glissant. On est d’accord que j’abandonne, je coupe et je prends le fil par l’extérieur ? 😁
I have had a lot of struggle here for 2 days 😤 😢. Time to cut and use the other end, from outside! Does somebody have the same experience with silk threads? @knitting#silk#knitting
The National Labor Relations Board could soon make it much easier for workers to unionize. The board plans to re-establish the Joy Silk Doctrine, which would force employers to recognize and bargain with their employees' union if a majority of workers sign authorization cards....
Fly fact of the day: Some adult flies produce silk.
Silk is a very common protein fiber to produce, shared by a lot of arthropods, so I'm not so surprised when I learn of another insect that can produce it.
But still, it's pretty cool.
Some male flies in family Empidae wrap gifts for females in silk produced in their legs.
The more you know! #insects#entomology#flies#ecology#silk
This new track kicks. It's just got a video & it's a great watch. Appreciate in camera rather than post production techniques sometimes. Fun budget friendly concept & solid v.edit.
