Mandala Beginning


 I cut a circle from an experimental needle felted piece.  I have stitched it to a hand-dyed piece of fabric.  It is rather satisfying to use these pieces created over the years.  I love when things come together.  What is the next step for this mandala?  I am leaning towards just embroidery stitches, no beads for this one.  However, I always let the piece speak to me and tell me what it needs.  It may cry out for beads at some point.  Who knows!  I enjoy the intuitive process in my artmaking.

I love the idea to just start in the middle and add things as it feels right.

Hi Angela, I really love that felted piece. I usually just go with what the piece wants - it's great to just listen and follow directions :-) Take care and have fun!

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/
