Slow Stitching Sunday


 This mandala has a deadline.  It needs to be done by August to be in the Purple Reign challenge put on by SFSND.  I take my commitment to challenges seriously and aim to not flake out on them.  Plus, I like having things done well in advance of a deadline.  I used a Lumiere paint through a gorgeous stencil to get me started.  I have added some silver thread stitching as that is what was calling to me.  It doesn't look like a lot but it took me a couple of hours.  I am grateful I was able to sit outside and enjoy my deck and sunshine while stitching.  It just feels so good.  If the forecast for today is correct I should be able to do more of the same.  Always a pleasure.  I just have to figure out what the next step is!

The stitching you have done is very fine so of course it took time! Enjoy the weather and your deck life.

I saw that challenge and briefly considered it as I love the color purple. Sadly, I just have too many other projects in process right now. I will enjoy watching your latest mandala become a thing of beauty.

Hi Angela, it's a great idea to paint the stencil in to use as a base for embellishment. I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses. I hope that you enjoyed today's weather. Good luck

Isn't it the best to sit outside in the warm sunshine, soak up all those happy rays and enjoy some lovely hand stitching? I look forward to seeing the progress of this new mandala, 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!

Slow Stitching Sunday

  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.
