Last week I posted about this mandala.  Then immediately set to whitewashing it to tame it down.  After which, a lovely friend told me what she saw in my wild mandala.  I regretted whitewashing it instantly!  However, I do have a photo of it in that state.  I thought it made sense to have a photo of it in this state as well.  My plan is to make it wild again.

I also plan to print photos of it in each state and print the comment from my friend.  I will put it all together on a journal page.  Stay tuned for the new wild version.  After all, we all need a bit of wild in our lives!

    Wow!
    Whitewashing it has changed it, but not necessarily for the worse. You have obviously moved the brush in a circular movement, and thereby set the pink globe and its many cogs as well as all the black splashes spinning.

    I think it is a great idea to take photos of the several stages in which a piece of art is created. I am looking forward to this with great anticipation.

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am still working away at attaching my circles to this piece.  I have added some other stitching as well.  I am very keen to add some beading to this one but that must wait.  Beading needs to be the last step.  I don't need the frustration of my threads getting snagged on the beads.   Progress can feel oh so slow.  Especially when it is because I am distracted by other projects!

 I enjoyed stitching my September slice.  I got out my book by Carole Samples Treasury of Crazy Quilt Stithes.  It has wonderful combinations of stitches.  I have had this book for years and never properly used it.  It uses basic stitches in interesting combinations. So, I didn't really learn any new stitches but I did enjoy combining stitches in new ways.  I might find that more helpful in the long wrong.   The weather has still been cooperative for stitching outside.  The week ahead looks good too.  I might get a jump start on my October slice.  It is sad to think about putting away the deck furniture but it can wait at least a week.

 How did it get to be December!  I really meant to fill in the big gaps in my November slice!  I still might.  We will see how it goes.  I got a lot of other stitching done in November so I guess that distracted me from this project.  There is only one slice left to stitch on this project and I find myself jumping ahead to next year. I wonder if I want to do another monthly project like this for next year.  I like having a monthly project.  I might consider doing a mixed-media instead of stitching.  Not that I couldn't incorporate some stitching into that though.  I have no clear idea at this point and that's okay.  I have to get through the holidays!   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
