Thread Flintstone

A Stitch In Time Shaves Nine

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON

Any idea what this photograph (above) depicts? Not really? That's why I included the second shot as well (see below) to give you a clue. I was walking past a shop that sells sewing machines (yes, you can get a great angle in the most mundane situations) and this display caught my attention. It was simply a rack, about a metre and a half high, of different colours and grades of thread. The first frame was taken from directly above the rack, looking down on it. The second frame was taken lower down, straight at the rack. I prefer the first shot, simply because of the unusual perspective. Just the sort of place for a crafty old sew and sew.
