hot hot hot

It was an extremely hot day today and I was feeling the need for an art project that I could complete in one day.  I have been enjoying some youtube videos on 'Remains of Day' journals.  They inspired me to create the above journal.  I have so many papers that it was easy to go through my stash and find some hot colored ones that suited this day.  I also went through my painted fabrics and found some for the cover.  The fabric I used for the tie closure is from Little India in Toronto.  I couldn't resist it when I saw it but I didn't know what I how I would use it.  That is often the case when I buy things but you only regret when you don't buy those things that speak to you, right!

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
