Word for the Month


 Coming up with a word to focus on each month isn't a problem.  This month POSSIBILITIES is my choice.  I have found an interesting experiment to use as the base.  I created it a while back.  I started with some hand painted silk and added layers of mixed media.  I added more paint, transfer foil, paper, ribbons and stitch.  Oh yes, and a couple of beads.  I really like it for this textile journal that I am putting together.

Adding words in stitch is harder than I thought it would be.  Usually when I do a focus word for a period of time I do it in an art journal.  That is so much easier!  However, I am up for the challenge of finding a way to add words with stitch.  It is definitely a learning experience!

I love the lines of rice-rac and folded ribbon - you have proven that there are a lot of POSSIBILITIES in art!

You've managed to put together stray bits of this and that in a way that appears as though they were collected with that project in mind. A lovely, tranquil color scheme. I find adding text as part of the design element, quite daunting. This is why I admire the Pixeladies ( https://www.pixeladies.com/home-portfolio/ ). Text is their work.

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/
