Kaleidoscope


 I printed one of my kaleidoscope photos on some silk a number of years ago.  I am now ready to stitch on it.  The silk is lightweight and fine so I have backed it with some cotton.  I learned from my last mistake.  Although stitching through just plain silk is lovely.  I have only added a few stitches so far.  The dark spot in the middle will definitely need some sparkle added!

I understand you miss the feeling of stitching only through silk, but the added support of another layer of fabric will make the mandala last longer and carry more beads.

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

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
