Work in Progress Wednesday


 I am liking this piece better now that I have removed the big blue flower beads that were near the bottom.  I add smaller beads instead.  I also added some embroidered green leaves to the area.  This photo has a darkness to it and that is exactly what I was hoping to achieve.  The three yellow blobs are supposed to depict fireflies at night.  This still needs something more to pull it all together.  I am not quite sure what that is at the moment.  I am really glad that I have given myself the time to get it right.  The Christmas deadline was not reasonable for getting the book finished.  It is better to get it right than to rush it.

It's nice that you realize that some things need to be finished in their own time and will not be rushed. It's a lovely piece. What are the dimensions?

The colours blend so beautifully. I'm not sure what more you can do with this ... to me it looks complete.

I like the balance of this piece...and the fantasy element. Lovely. :-)

This is quite lovely. There's so much to take in, and you've done a great job to keep the eye moving around the piece.

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/
