My August stitch a day project was done completely with silk. It was a delight to stitch and I think it turned out rather pretty. I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/ https://kathysquilts.blogspot.ca
The prompt this week was to use a silhouette. I was being a bit lazy and googled silhouette images. When I saw this one it really grabbed me to so I printed it and added some watercolor for the background. Not sure why I added that big strip of pink. The quote I used says 'When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness - all good things.'
I think it is done. The waterfall is beaded to my liking. Possibly there could be some beads added into the blue water part. If I do decide to add beads there it won't be a lot. Moving onto the binding and backing. I am linking with http://www.quiltfabrication.com/ http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/ https://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.ca/ http://www.supermomnocape.com
Triple Chain Stitch is the featured stitch on Sharon B's web site this week. I decided that I want to try the Take a Stitch Tuesday stitches with beads. It turned out okay, not great. I only did one set as I was hoping it would look like a flower. It sort of does.
I am so pleased with the way my photo cards have turned out! They will be available for sale at the New Hamburg Studio Tour I will be sharing space with three other artists. Come see us on September 23, 2017. I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/
The prompt this week was friendship. At first, I was a bit stuck. I have some wonderful friends. What could I say about them? But then I thought about man's best friend. I know cliche but I am nuts about dogs. Doing a journal page about the best dog ever, Farley, was a pleasure. He took a piece of my heart when he passed almost two years ago. I still miss him.
