Work in Progress Wednesday


 Well, I have tried an experiment.  I am really glad that I did not commit and made a wig for my little girl character.  I have the face right and I didn't want to ruin it by messing it up with the hair.  This hair is definitely not good.  It is not enough and too much all at the same time.  The painted sketch I did of my character was exactly right.  Just what I wanted.  Now depicting it in fabric and stitch has become a big challenge.  UGH!  Maybe, I should try painting a piece of fabric to look like the hair.  Oh, light bulb!  Maybe I could use some dimensional paint!  Off to do another experiment!

Whenever you hit a hurdle, you learn something!
I am sure you will find a solution.

It pays to make samples, that's for sure. On the other hand, in the 1980s, this amount of hair would have been just right! ;-)

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/
