Work in Progress Wednesday

 

The San Fransisco School of Needlework challenge is Radical Botanical.  I signed up for the challenge and was still determining what I would do.  That is usually the case.  An idea always comes so I wasn't worried.  The botanical part is easy but how to make it radical?  That part has me dithering.  I went through my stash of experiments to see if there was any inspiration there.  I pulled out this felted piece.  I think it is interesting and it has potential.  But how could it be made radical?  

What does radical stitching look like?  I would love to be considered a radical stitcher!  Maybe a hundred years ago I would have been considered radical with my messy backs and wonky stitches.

Look to Dr. Seuss for inspiration.

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/
