bead journal project for November


I've actually had this done for a while now.  I just didn't have time to post the picture because I spent so much time on my journal.  The top picture is a bit dark.  The close up shot is closer to the real colors.  I am looking forward to finishing December project and therefore completing the year.  I feel like I can say I have finally learned to finish things.

I have joined the Bead Journal Project for 2011.  I am hoping to improve my beading skills.  Having a deadline each month gets me working.

ps
I forgot to say that I also incorporated the sword stitch in this piece.  I learned it from Sharon B at the Pintangle blog.  I love learning the new stitches!

Hi Angela
Glad you joined yet another year of BJP. When I joined two years ago, I thought the same thing you do...I wanted to embroider those encrusted works of art. Well, let me tell you, that I did a couple but I was much more pleased with the pages that had other interest. Keep your own nitch. I like your work very much.

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/
