Finished


 This hand-painted delicate silk fabric won't handle a lot of beading.  I have tried to keep the stitching to silk threads and ribbons and not a lot of beading.  I have added some white shimmery thread to some of the white parts of the design.  The thread is fine and not terribly noticeable but that is what I was going for.  This was a fun mandala to design.

When it comes to beads or metallic thread, it is the light, or lack of it, that make them sparkle. Point a spotlight onto this mandala and it will be full of life.

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/
