Mandala Monday


 I haven't fully committed to this mandala as yet.  Nothing has been adhered in place.  The main issue is the different materials.  The base circle is vellum with alcohol ink.  The butterfly and dragonfly die cuts are a delicate paper.  The innermost circle is a manipulated photo printed on transparency.  I am wondering if spray glue would be the best way to go.  I am also not opposed to stitching these elements in place.  Thread could add an interesting texture.  

Oh, I just looked at the die cuts more closely and they aren't the same ones.  Hmm, will that bother me or do I like it?  I am really glad I haven't attached them yet.

That the cutouts will be damaged is my main concern. Is it possible to place them closer to the centre so they don't stick out?

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/
