Mandala Monday


 Beauty is not aesthetic: it’s a survival technology.  I just read that today and thought wow.  I know I need beauty in my life.  Maybe we all do.

    Hm, I am sure we all need beauty.
    The question is, what is beauty? Every person would have their own interpretation of what is beautiful.
    The Japanese expression wabi-sabi is the beauty of something used, worn and tarnished, e.g. the verdigris found on old copper roofs. Some people can only see beauty in the new, clean and polished, while others like wonky, threadbare and stained.

Hmm, now I am wondering if this piece needs more beads.  I was thinking it is finished.  I don't like to dither but deciding when something is finished can be a challenge for me.  I am not loving this piece at the moment.  I doesn't make me say 'oh wow' but I am not sure what I would add to it.

 Here are some more bright and cheerful flowers.  These flowers are such a fun playground for me.  I can think of numerous ways I want to use them.  It is a good thing I have a plethora of scraps for making them.  The possibilities are truly endless!  It looks like it is going to be a lovely day.  I am imagining enjoying some stitching outside this afternoon.  The weather looks perfect for it.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I have felt the need to play with very bright and vibrant colours of late.  This mandala I made a few years ago but it was calling to me again.  I have been loading it up with stitches to add texture.  I realize these brights aren't everyone's taste.  Since I am making it for me, I am not about to worry about what other people like or don't like.  Playing in this field of colour makes me happy!
