Slow Stitching Sunday


 Oh yes, much happier with this butterfly now.  There is still a lot of colour happening, but now it feels interesting, not garish.  I used some of my sari silk yarn by couching it down.  It helped to pull things together.  I am not quite sure about the three little roses I added at the top right.  It would be easy to remove them.  What do you think?

There are a lot of interestingly textured fabrics in this piece.  Texture is always good!  I think that is what draws me to working with fabric, the wonderful textures.  Plus, when you add embroidery, you get even more texture!

    I think I would remove the roses. They don’t fit in with the other textures you have created on your pretty butterfly. Nice couching! Gail at the cozy quilter

    This is the prettiest butterfly I've ever seen! I'm not sure if the roses stand out because they are so light, or because you mentioned to look for them!!??

    Personally, I don't like those little roses. They are too delicate for this beautiful butterfly.

    Wow! What a fabulous butterfly filled with glorious colour colour, texture and visual interest. About those roses.....perhaps if you add a rose or two somewhere on the other wing??

    Yes, I love the texture of embroidery and hand sewing, too! Your butterfly is a beauty!

   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!
