Slow Stitching Sunday


 I found the perfect button to go into the centre of this mandala.  I love when my stash has the perfect thing!  This mandala is finished and I love how the sparkly threads look on the dark background.  The background is purple but looks grey in the photo.  It is a grey-purple to be sure but the camera is really not picking up the purple.  This is mandala 29 in my hooped series.  I am planning to submit 30 hooped mandalas for an upcoming show.  I have one mandala left to be finished and it is very close to being done.  Getting the artist statement right will be important.

That's a beautiful marriage of Button and Mandala. You are right, it is the perfect match.
Oh, how exciting to have a show, best of luck!

How wonderful it would be to see 30 of your mandalas all grouped together at a show! I for one, would stand there forever, drinking in each exquisite detail. Please show us photos when this event happens. As for this mandala, it is a beautiful finish. All those stitches dancing in merry patterns around and around is joyful. And yes.....that button is perfect! There is always 'that perfect pretty' needed, in one's stash. One just needs to dive head first into the bottomless 'pit' to find it. =) A most gorgeous finish, Angela.

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!

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
