Years in the Making


 Well, that was a lot of work!  For three hours I worked away with my husband and two others at hanging my solo show.  My husband is so amazing and supportive.  I couldn't have done it without him.  He thinks differently than I do and that is a good thing.  We bring balance to one another.  I created 400 paper mandalas for this show.  They are hanging at the 10-foot mark and the installation looks pretty impressive.  

There were a lot of nice comments from the few people that stopped in to see us hanging the show.  One of the professors was very keenly interested and chatted for a while.  I have been invited to give a talk there but the details still need to be worked out.  

There are over 60 stitched mandalas hanging in this show.  Also, three collaborative pieces are hanging.  I will have to return to get more photos.  We ran out of time as my husband had an engagement he needed to get to.  

I am so pleased with the way it has all turned out.

You are lucky to get so much support from people around you.
Good luck with the opening and the show itself.

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/
