Mixed Media Mandala


 Even though I have two other mandalas I am working on I have started a third.  I can work on more than one at a time.  That's not a problem.  The ideas aren't flowing so easily for the other two and I refuse to sit around doing nothing waiting for the ideas to come.  I am confident the right ideas will come eventually. 

So this mandala was started with an experiment.  I wondered if paper could be trapped in Angelina fibres.  I cut a kirigami shape and sandwiched it between the Angelina fibres and then ironed it all together. It works great.  I have stitched that to some lovely dupioni silk.  I now intend to create a very textural mandala.  I have to go through my stash to find the right beads etc.  That is always fun!

I am happy to see the Angelina in action. Yes, you can trap many things in a tangle of fibres. I've used orts, short threads and tiny bits of cut up fabric. Paper looks good.

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.
