Slow Stitching Sunday


 I love the silk ribbon stitching that I added to this butterfly.  Stitching with silk ribbon is luscious!  I have to figure out what to stitch in the centre of the silver spots.  They seem a bit boring at the moment.  Maybe some beads.  It feels like I have played with my beads for a long time.

The temperatures dropped yesterday.  I guess my days of stitching outside are done for this year.  I hope I am wrong.  I would love one more day of stitching in the sunshine!  It feels so good.

    Beads would work or maybe a little ribbon flower or embroidery. This butterfly is so pretty.

    Your butterflies are so pretty, Angela! Nothing boring about them at all. Is the silk ribbon what forms the flower bud shapes in the top wing corners? I haven't done any stitching with ribbon like that, but I love the effect it gives!

    I agree that something is needed in the middle of those to circles.
    Instead of a bead, how about a sequin? Or an individual stitch made with your favourite silk ribbon?
    Apart from that, the butterfly is perfectly elegant.
    Wishing you some more lovely sunny days.

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.

  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!

 I have created more flowers.  These ones don't feel quite up to snuff.  I may put them back in the pile to work on further.  I think more stitching is needed on some of them.   We did our big Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, so today will be quiet.  I will enjoy some stitching time and some leftover turkey!
