Slow Stitching Sunday


 I am constantly amazed by how a photograph calls my attention to little problems.  Problems that I don't notice while stitching.  I am going to assume that it is because I am so into my stitching that I just get a bit lost in it.  Not a big thing except when it creates problems.

In this photo, the green sequins don't stand out as much, but they do in the light of day!  I have been adding more green beads and stitches to this butterfly.  I am hoping that it will pull it all together.  I am in no way trying to go for realism with my butterflies!

    Love your colourful butterfly. Funny how we notice something in a picture that we don’t notice with the naked eye

    I have the same thing happen when I look at pictures of my creations. Sometimes what I thought was working, isn't! But to me, your butterfly is beautiful!

    It is amazing what we miss when we're caught up in the moment with what we are stitching. Photos always seem to nudge me of something not quite right. Your butterfly is beautiful.

    I have the same experience; photos reveal things I don't see with my own eyes. It's difficult to understand why.

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

Mandala Monday

 Often, when I create a loose and free mandala, I don't like it.  They are fun to create and that should be enough.  I am happy to say that this loose mandala is one that I do like.  It is truly a mixed media piece.  I used transfer foil, paint, crayon and markers.  So fun!
