Work in Progress Wednesday

 

I thought I had completed this mandala weeks ago.  However, the purple fabric base was bothering me.  It seemed the right colour but somehow now quite right.  I left it in my studio so that I could ponder it.  I realized that there was just too much of the purple fabric showing.  I have added some faux gem stones and little dots of fabric paint.  This border works better I think.

I agree, without the dotted edge there would have been too much purple. Now you have a good balance.

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/
