Red Thread

It is a widely shared Chinese Legend that the red tread "connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break."

It also has a long history in weaving, where red threads are woven into the cloth in tiny proportions to bring out the vibrancy of the other visually dominant colour.
 
Filmmaking builds on this: the red thread is "the element found in every layer, and section and cycle of a project that draws the whole together with unity and harmony.“
 
As a conceptual stitch, the red thread is a useful metaphor for bringing various parts of human systems, such as communities, corporations, governments, etc. into design together.
 
At this time in our history, many of these systems, and systems-of-systems, are dangerously out-of-sync, fragmented and unbalanced. Red threading benefits self- and world-awareness, begs more meaningful questions and helps find greater fitness and effectiveness in decision-making.
 
There are many things you can do with a piece of red thread:
- Sow a button to where it came off
- Tie sticks together to create a thicker stick

- Fasten a braid in your hair
- Use as a bookmark
- ...?

To get your creativity flowing and make the impossible possible, just use your imagination freely and frequently. Even if the subject, like a red thread, has no relationship at all to what you're trying to achieve, it may bring great and new ideas to mind. Any other ideas where a piece of red thread can be of use? Mail them to abulsink1@yahoo.com. I will publish them on my website to enhance your creativity as well.
