Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
I am still doing my little stitched collages.  Combining fabric, paper and stitch really makes me happy.  I was excited to find a way to use this tiny carpet that a friend gifted me.  She always brings back the most enticing things from her travels.  I turned it into a pocket to hold another small collage and the label from the package that it was in.  I want to remember everything about where this tiny carpet came from.  I am still not sure how I will bind all these pages into a fabric book.  I will continue to do the collages and trust that the right way to bind them will come to me.

Journal Cover

I made some progress on this journal cover this week.  I am having so much fun adding beads to this.  I think it is getting pretty close to finished but  I do want to add more beads.  Why stop having fun! I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

Work in Progress Wednesday

I am completely in love with my bead journal for May.  It is a kaleidoscope/mandala hybrid, mixed media and beaded piece of beauty.  At least it is to me and that is enough.  The weather has been cooperating and I have been able to stitch on this outside.  Oh, that feels so good.  The natural light for beading is also lovely.

Our weather has been beautifully warm and sunny.  It takes me back to our trip to Mexico where we saw the most magnificent street art.  This turtle is stunning.  It kind of makes me think of a crazy quilt. I am linking to http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/

Bead Journal

I am really enjoying this one.  It is quite close to being finished. Yesterday was a beautiful day and I was able to sit outside to stitch.  OH!  That felt so good.  It truly is one of my favourite things to do. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

Stitched Journal Cover

Image
So fun to go through my stash of fabrics I have collected to create this journal cover.  So much sparkliness!  These have been stitched down to a base and are now ready for more embellishment.  Yes, I said more!  I want this cover to say jewel box.  I am well on my way to that goal.  I find myself starting new projects at this time.  At the beginning of the year, which feels like mere days ago I was happily working at finishing up projects.  There are still plenty to finish up but not the inclination or inspiration.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

A little collage journal

Image
These little collages are so fun to make.  I had made this set a while ago, top photo.  I decided to bind them together and add collage to the backside, bottom photo.  Just a little concertina book full of vintage goodies and found word poetry. I am linking to http://minialbummakers.blogspot.com/
