This was yesterday's completed prototype. I'd never made a Dresden Plate before, so this was challenging on 2 fronts.
The plate is from thrifted silk neckties. The background and binding are cotton fabrics from my stash. The overall size is about 21" square(-ish) (53 cm), and the Plate is about 15" (38 cm) across.

Immature dahlia flower encased in a web made by two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae). The webbing serves as protection and a way for mites to get around. Fun fact: silk is made in salivary glands on mouthparts, not from abdominal spinnerets like spiders. #mite #arachnid #nature #silk #web #dahlia #bud #photography #Mitemonday

Yesterday I was very creative at our demonstration table in the museum: my first collage that isn't just paper & paint. There was no audience (people probably used the rare sunshine for outdoor events), but we had fun! Now some small embroidery in gold to finish it. Should I make more collages with textile parts? @embroidery @fibrearts @fiberarts
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

Secret Message Hidden in a Victorian-Era Silk Dress Is Actually a Long-Lost Code

Somehow this turned into 485 yds of squooshilicious yarn. The yarn is poofy enough that it doesn't seem possible that there could be that much yardage in 111 g. I counted and recounted. Is this the magic of lofty longdraw compared to smooth tight worsted? Fun fact: according to my calculations, the grist is 400 meters per 100 grams. Wasn't even trying and hit round numbers.
In the past, #SANS courses that talk about flow used SiLK [tools.netsa.cert.org] from the #CERT #NetSA security suite.
It's all config files and command-line if I remember correctly, but it works.
They teach you how to use it in conjunction with #Zeek (formerly Bro).
