Work in Progress Wednesday


 I stitched some silver mesh that I had coloured to look like a rainbow.  The background I stitched it to is fun and funky but a bit busy and the rainbow didn't show up so well.  I decided to add faux gems to make it more noticeable. What little girl would love the glitz!  This princess loves it!  I think my granddaughter will enjoy it too.  

I am getting really close to having all the stitching done for this book.  I have allowed the five-year-old princess that lives deep inside to come out to play.  What a joy!  I feel like using my stitching to illustrate a book for children is the perfect use for my talents.  I am not a deep dark person.  I love bright and cheerful and have often felt that I could never be a success in the art world because I am not brooding or whatever.  I don't want to be a success on those terms.  This book will be a success for me if Juniper loves it.  

I am planning to make it available for purchase in some way.  Having others buy it would be a dream come true.  I still need to do some research on how to best offer it for sale.

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/
