Slow Stitching Sunday


 I added some beads and some embroidery to this mandala and I think it is now finished.  I may call this the last one for the show excluding the collaborative pieces.  I don't see myself stopping making mandalas though.  There are still numerous ideas waiting on the sidelines.  

I still have the 400-paper mandala installation to put together.  All the mandalas are finished but they have to be attached to the ribbon.  That job shouldn't be difficult but it may feel tedious.  I am not sure how long it will take but I will definitely need breaks from it.

I still don't have the exact dates for the show and that doesn't feel good.  I just want it settled as December is such a busy month.

I love the dragonflies on this one! Are they beads? They make such a pretty design combined with the rest of your stitching!

I like those luminous dragonflies and the corner motifs. Very pretty. Adding ribbons to all of those mandalas is going to be quite tedious. I look forward to seeing what you create when you need a break.

Cathie used the word luminous which is a perfect word for this mandala. Every project creates more ideas and thankfully that never ends :)

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/
