Slow Stitching Sunday

There actually isn't any stitching on this piece yet.  I started this piece in 2019 and it has been hanging in my studio ever since.  This week I added some silver flakes to the sky.  I think I want to add glitter next.  I have been on a big glitter kick this week.  I have been adding it to my art journals and mandalas.  Oh so fun!  I guess I have a strong need for something joyful and sparkling right now.  

I also want to add some hand stitching to this piece.  It probably doesn't need a lot though.  Mostly I just want to get the sky looking better.  This piece is made with different rovings and mixed media in the silk paper technique.  It is quite large, for me.  It has been a fun experiment and may end up as a page in a large book.

You can never have too much sparkle and glitter!
I thought you had already done some stitching on this... like french knots on the flower on the right? So pretty!

That is quite a pretty and interesting piece. I do like the silver flakes in the sky. Looks like stars.

Another amazing piece in the works, Angela. If I was a bird I would love to fly across that swirling blue sky and look down upon those pretty flowers. Everything is so very clever and fabulously imaginative. There is nothing quite like glitter to sprinkle a little joy and happiness into one's day. Have a beautiful day playing with glitter and silver beads, and other such happy stitching.

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

 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/
