Work in Progress Wednesday


I am feeling the need to work on a stitched mandala as it has been a while.  I went digging through some past experiments and came across the ugly blob, top photo.  It was an experiment with transfer foil and it did not work out very well.  Rescue and redemption often inform my work so I was happy to see what I could do with this.  I have added a layer of iridescent paint and that worked really well.  If you look closely you can still see a bit of the transfer foil showing through.  I love that and now I am happy to get stitching on this.

My first thought was that it was a very intricate leaf, some variation of the oak tree... The top layer of paint has made a great difference and I am sure you will make this into a fantastic mandala.

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/
