Some experiments are more successful than others

I bought some permanent markers a couple of weeks ago.  Today I decided to experiment with them.  I did some scribble flowers on a piece of silk and then spritzed them with rubbing alcohol.  I found that the purple ink bled nicely.  The turqoise did not and therefore I am not showing a photo of that.  I am not overly in love with what I created here.  I am hoping that I can think of way to use it so as to not waste a piece of silk!

When you get a 'blurred' image like this it makes me think of reflections and movements on water. Would it be possible to add a watery colour (light blue) and make it into the surface on a pond...

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/
