Mandala Monday


 My daily mandala practice is yielding interesting results.  Each one starts with a word of loving intention for the day.  I contemplate that word as I write it on the coffee filter.  I recall that word and try to incorporate it throughout the day.  The word becomes obliterated in the process of art making and I love that.  This is all about the process and there are no expectations for the art to look like something.  

I think the way the black ink separated into different colours on this one is interesting.  The black ink really makes the blue watercolour stand out as well.  I can see a dragonfly and a butterfly in this one.

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/
