Here is my Coral stitch as per  Sharon B's  instructions.  This is a simple stitch and I like it a lot.  I didn't do anything very clever with it.  I used a variegated perle cotton.

Simple and lovely to me. I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ http://www.mersad-photography.blogspot.ca/2016/04/sunset-over-city-through-my-lens-nr-39.html

I am having so much fun with my butterflies.  I have some beads and embroidery.  I have also added some heat set crystals to the backs of some of them.  It is possible that the backs will be seen so they need to look good too.

Art enable us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time, Thomas Merton.  So true.  I enjoy adding quotes to my journal pages.  I am, however extremely frustrated trying to find a white pen/marker that works properly.

I have been experimenting with chalk pastels on fabric.  I love the way they blend.  A spray fixative sets them and then adding stitch isn't messy.  I have no idea if this is permanent after washing.  I don't care, as I don't plan to wash my art.

I am making good progress on my bead journal for April.  It is getting pretty close to finished.  The turquoise beetle bead in the upper left corner was given to me from a treasured friend.  She travels the world and always brings me back a little something.  I try to honor her thoughtfulness by using said gifts.
