Balance is the journal prompt theme

I paraphrased the quote to say 'To keep your balance keep moving'.  I definitely like to keep moving forward.  Yesterday I was disappointed to find out that I did not get the artist in residency that I had applied for.  Their loss, it was a really good idea.  Today, I am working on my altered books to submit to a show.  I am not about to be stuck in self pity about the residency.  I will keep joyfully making my art!

I like the feather page! THIS time the artist in residence idea didn't get chosen, but it doesn't mean it won't be next time. =) Your attitude is just right!

Oh, I am so sorry you were not picked for this honour. As you know, art is judged by 'taste' rather than time, length or other things that can be measured, and when the jury do not have any 'taste' it is a great pity.
Here you have proved that you are indeed a skilful artist! Keep up your spirits!

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

Image
 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/
