Slow Stitching Sunday

 

This is another start of a collage butterfly.  I was interested in using more textural fabrics with this one.  Gosh, I love texture.  That is probably why I love working with textiles so much.  It is so easy to create texture with fabric, threads and beads.  Easy is good!

I realize it looks like a real hodgepodge right now.  I think it will all come together once I start adding the decorative stitches.  I will enjoy embroidering it at the very least!  I am happy to make the time for my stitching, especially at this time of year.  The holidays are lovely but they are also a LOT.  Thankfully, today will be a slow stitch sort of day!

    It's always a good thing to enjoy a little hand stitch among the busyness that can be Christmas. I so agree when you say "easy is good". Enjoy embellishing your butterfly today. Have a wonderful Christmas, Angela.

    I like the texture, too, Angela! I always want to be able to reach in and touch your pieces. Enjoy your stitching today!

    You have used a lot of rich fabric. With embroidery and beads this will be a fantastic butterfly.

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

Mandala Monday

 Often, when I create a loose and free mandala, I don't like it.  They are fun to create and that should be enough.  I am happy to say that this loose mandala is one that I do like.  It is truly a mixed media piece.  I used transfer foil, paint, crayon and markers.  So fun!
