Slow Stitching Sunday


 Another mandala finished.  I love thee encrusted look and really enjoyed stitching this.  If I ever do another mandala in this fashion I will plan to not go all the way to the edge.  That will require choosing a base fabric in a colour I want to see.  This fabric is a beautiful silk to stitch into.  The colour is not really a favourite so that made the choice to cover it completely quite easy.  

This is the last mandala for my installation submission.  I love idea of mounting my mandala on the wall in a spiral design as I have previously mentioned.  The spiral being infinite means that as I create more mandalas there will always be room for them.  I am excited to get started on my next mandala!

Your mandala came out so lovely and that is so clever to leave the placement openended with a spiral! Clever you!

Hi Angela, that sounds so cool. I've never considered covering up a whole piece of background cloth but if it stitches up well, why not! Have a great week.

That is a beautiful way to use fabric that you aren't crazy about.

Such great colours. It’s so difficult stitching to the edge ! But it does look good!

I love the look of this 'pile 'em on' design. More is certainly more!

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!

  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.
