Painting with Thread

I recently posted a blog where I talked about drawing with scissors.  Today I am going to talk about painting with thread.  Do you know anyone who loves thread?  They must be weird, huh?  Ok, so I love thread.  Some people are obsessed with buying jewelry or shoes or clothes but I am obsessed with  buying thread (and fabric but that's a whole other article).  My thread holders are full and have overflowed to a box.   See--

Does anyone think this is too much thread? I've even overflowed to my sewing table but all this thread is actually very necessary to create the effect.  Take a look at the final result.

Here is an example of using thread to make the picture:
