bead journal project for April


 I was really inspired by the idea of stitching on Japanese papers.  I love spirals so this paper was a natural choice.  I want to explore this idea further.

    A very subtle effect and the paper idea is innovative.

    Sooooo pretty, Angela! Just enough beadwork to complement the paper.

    Angela, what a great way to use your Japanese paper. I lived in Japan for three years and have collected some of that paper. I had used it for their festival dolls when I lived there, but wanted to do something else with what I brought home. Did you have to soften it in any way before beading? (moisture or crimping?) Lovely, Jude

    Hi Jude
    I couldn't find an email for you so I am answering your question here. I hope you find it! I did not soften this paper in any way. Another project I am working on I did crumple the paper and stitched on it. That works wonderfully well too.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Slow Stitching Sunday

 How did it get to be December!  I really meant to fill in the big gaps in my November slice!  I still might.  We will see how it goes.  I got a lot of other stitching done in November so I guess that distracted me from this project.  There is only one slice left to stitch on this project and I find myself jumping ahead to next year. I wonder if I want to do another monthly project like this for next year.  I like having a monthly project.  I might consider doing a mixed-media instead of stitching.  Not that I couldn't incorporate some stitching into that though.  I have no clear idea at this point and that's okay.  I have to get through the holidays!   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
