Work in Progress Wednesday

I did this mandala a while back but wasn't completely satisfied with it.  I had already hand quilted so I didn't want to add more stitching and make the back a big mess.  Yes, the backs of my pieces are generally pretty messy until I add the quilted layers.  Anyway, I decided to glue on some rhinestones.  Yes, glue.  I am such a rebel!  I used a heavy body gem type glue so they should not be going anywhere.  I am much happier with the piece now.  I still need to finish with a border trim of some sort.  I haven't decided what that will be.  Any ideas?

    With glue you can let the gems shine in their own right without the competition of elaborate stitches nearby.
    I like the dark background that sets off all the embellishments.

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.
