photocopying your work

A few years ago I dyed some paper.  I scrunched it up and soaked it in fabric dye.  I ended up with the most wonderful collection of paper.  Great color, great texture.  I just love these papers.  The problem was I no longer have those dyes so I could not recreate the papers.  They became too precious to use.  Silly, I know.  I know we all do that though. 
The light bulb came on.  I could color copy them!  tada now I feel free to use them.  I actually really like the idea of color copying my work.  It allows me to take an idea further without wrecking the original.

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/
