Work in Progress Wednesday


Even though I rarely get to meetings, I am a member of the Grand Guild of Fibre Artists.  Each year, there is a challenge put forth.  This year, it was decided that we would create a 3D textile piece.  I am keen to get started on it!

My piece will be a round sculpture.  It doesn't feel right to start it just yet.  The house is still in quite a state.  The reno is mostly finished, but there are still small things that need to be done.  I have done a lot of reorganizing and purging, but haven't made a trip to the thrift store to drop off the boxes.  I also have a lot of things I want to sell, but haven't listed them on Marketplace.   Then there is Christmas to deal with.  There was also a family emergency that threw a wrench in things.  Yikes, there is a lot going on!

Some quiet stitching is needed for my soul.  I did some rubbings on this fabric with the intention of making a scroll.  It was the perfect surface for some slow stitching.  I am glad that I had it ready to go!

    I'm looking forward to seeing your round sculpture. 3D textile art was often featured at Festival of Quilts in the UK. Here in Japan, it's either wall quilts with some kind of texture or added ornaments, or bags!
    Good luck with all the work you have to do before Christmas.

   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

Image
 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

Image
 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!
