Slow Stitching Sunday


 28 hooped mandalas.  I am calling this installation 'the place between breath'.  

Here is my artist statement.

In this chaotic time, stitching mandalas has sustained my peace and well-being.  Each mandala is an exquisite sanctuary that holds the transformative power of creativity.   Each stitch is a wordless journey into the sacred. 

These mandalas hang as a spiral installation.  A spiral that is expansive. unending and where ideas of healing and meditation can be explored.  I desire to elicit peace if only for a moment, a stillness in the space between breath.


I plan to get this submitted today. It is exciting to think of this being accepted and installed.

Breathtaking once installed I am sure as the mandalas look great not installed! Your future with this project remains in my thoughts as I stitch Angela!

As I look at each of your exquisite mandalas in the fabulous spiral formation, I wonder of all the places you visited with each breath, with each stitch. It is as you say, sacred. Your artist statement is profound, too. Oh, how I wish I could look very closely at each amazing mandala and joy in each and every element before me. Truly, Angela, your 'works of art' are a sublime body of work. Just breathtaking!

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.
