Dressmaker tools.

Beaverton, OR

These tools are used for tailoring (from L. to R.) -

Tailor Chalk (tube style)

Carpet Needle

Needle Threader

Thimble

Seam Ripper

Hem Guage

Dart Marking Tool

Screwdriver (for the Singer)

Tailor Pencil

Nippers

Corner Tool

Very Large Needle

These tools probably have more appropriate names, but I don't recall them.
The set up is a silk scarf on a bean bag and the tools tucked into the silk then snapped a photo. Don't think I did any post on this, maybe sharpen if anything.

I see what you are saying and when I read your comment I then thought of how I had shoved the sharp tools into the soft thai silk scarf to make them stand up, giving an almost crude surgeon feel to the photo. The orignal thought was that the fabric was just so brightly colored, it beconned to be used in the photo.
Thanks for commenting.

Terrific image in my view. I sense an agenda here that might be subconscious or clever - putting these functional images on the red silk makes them perverse as in the mind of some demented meanie. Anyway I love it. Maybe that makes me perverse. -tv
