May Bead Journal

There is not loads of beading on this piece but there is enough.  The hand dyed doily is the star of this show.  While working on this piece I had a number of people ask if it was going to be a pillow.  I guess it is about the right size for a pillow but it kind of made me feel bad.  I think of it as art and want to hang it on a wall.  Does it really matter that someone else thought of it more as craft/ a pillow?  It shouldn't matter to me.  Ultimately, I made it for the sheer joy of creating whether it be art or craft.

    I agree, the lacy doily is the star so don't hide it underneath too many beads.
    My grandmother had a round cushion on her sofa. The cushion was dark red and had a cover of a crocheted black 'doily'. I must admit I think of granny's cushion whenever I see a doily (the real doilies she had on tables always had a vase, a bowl or some ornament on them; they were difficult to see).
    I think you should proudly display your art on the wall!

    Oh my, this is beautiful. I agree with you, this gorgeous work of art should be hanging proudly on the wall, beautifully framed, for all to see, appreciate and enjoy.

    All handwork is art. This is gorgeous. Your fellow crafting bloggers know its worth. Often non-crafters don't understand don't appreciate the talent and hard work that goes into our creations.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
