Work in Progress Wednesday


 Monet is one of my favourite artists.  I love the impressionistic style so I decided to play with that in my journal.  There are a lot of layers here.  I started by blocking in colour with my permanent markers and then adding a layer of thin white acrylic paint.  That didn't knock back the marker colour as much as I thought it would.  I added a layer of watercolour crayons.  The Neocolor 2 by Caran d'ache added good layer of colour.  On top of that, I added oil pastels.  The oil pastels gave me the look I was aiming to get.  Obviously, I am no Monet but I am happy with my attempt.  I may try something similar with fabric and then stitch into it.

Monet is one of my favourite artists too and seeing originals is amazing - you look up close and it's a load of dots you walk away and the image appears - so clever. I think your piece is really good and I can spot those water lilies poking their heads. Thanks for sharing with us at Creative Artiste Mixed Media

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

Image
 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/
