Here is my Coral stitch as per Sharon B's instructions. This is a simple stitch and I like it a lot. I didn't do anything very clever with it. I used a variegated perle cotton.
The Coral stitch is easy, fast to work and has a nice structure to it. Perfect for variegated threads.

I think the variegated thread was a good choice, and you have an example on your piece, so that's a good thing! This is one I didn't master, even if it is easy. =) I think I would like it better in a thicker thread maybe?
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!

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.
