Work in Progress Wednesday


 I think this is the smallest mandala I have created.  I had been making most of them on 12x12 squares but I thought why not try something a bit different.  Now that I have started it I will finish it but I don't think I will do any more this small.  I just don't love it.  Mind you, it isn't finished and I may grow to love it.  The challenge of working a bit differently is good. 

This is probably my last post before Christmas.  This has been a pretty tough year, obviously!  Still, it is my sincere hope that everyone has the best Christmas possible.  It may be a little more quiet and simple than usual but those aren't necessarily bad things.

You're so right about the challenge of working differntly -- that it's often a Good Thing. :-) It keeps us adaptable! Best wishes for the Season and may 2021 be better for us all!

Merry Christmas, Princess Bubbles! I'm glad you're sharing about not loving the little mandala project at the moment, but that you're still going to finish it. Sometimes we fall in and out of love with a project while we're working on it, but there's no such thing as a wasted effort when you're experimenting artistically. It just plants the seeds of more ideas for next time.

It is funny, but this latest piece is actually my favourite of the work that you have shown us. It reminds me more of your photographs- with that macro-zoom focus:).

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/
