Life has been busy!

I am not sure how we are already almost a week into the new year and I haven't done a blog post.  Time seems to fly faster all the time!

This is a color copy of a collage of a tree I did years ago.  I really like the tree!  I used Beryl Taylor's method to apply paper to fabric to create this.  I used a gelli printed fabric as the base.  The tissue paper on top has given it interesting texture.  I am not super happy with the way it looks right now though.  It is quite stiff so stitching into it might be too unpleasant.  So I am puzzling as to how I might save this.

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/
