Glitter makes me happy


 I have added some glitter paint to outline the butterflies.  I like the pop of sparkle it has added.  Glitter makes me unreasonably happy.  My granddaughter and I are two peas in a pod when it comes to all things sparkling.  So many poo poo glitter.  If I want to be taken seriously as an artist I really should not be using it.  However, I simply cannot deny that five-year-old child inside that grins from ear to ear upon seeing it. Who wants to be a serious artist when you can be a fun artist!

In what rule book does it say serious artists can't use glitter? I think it is the perfect addition to add iridescence to a butterfly's wings. If nature sparkles, then so can art.

I love a little glitter here and there and definitely on butterflies.

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/
