Coloring lace flowers

I used Sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol to color these lace flowers.  I love having the ability to customize the colors to anything I want.   I plan to add these to my May crazy quilt block.

A sharpie! Interesting idea, Angela. Does the alcohol allow the ink to bleed, like a wet into wet technique?

I like the marbled effect and can understand how much you enjoy tailor making these flowers.

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/
