The Chain Shell stitch is explained by  Sharon B  for this week's Take a Stitch Tuesday.  I added it to this butterfly using Razzle Dazzle thread by Ricky Timms.  This is a simple stitch but I have not used it much.  So many stitches so little stitching time!

How can a flower not be beautiful?  It gives me so much pleasure to look at them up close. I am linking with http://www.mersad-photography.blogspot.ca/2016/04/sunset-over-city-through-my-lens-nr-39.html http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/

I guess I have done more 'art' this week than I thought.  The Grand Guild of Fibre Artists met on Tuesday to dye some fabric.  Top photo is two cotton fat quarters, silk ribbon and rayon seam binding.  Middle photo is all silk, some charmeuse, some dupioni.  The clean up paper towels in the last photo have me the most excited though.  I know, weird.  There is also sari silk and cotton threads in the last photo.  Now, I just need a project that uses these pretties!

I am not super impressed with this page but I am impressed that I got it done.  Yay me!  This week has been exceptionally busy for me and not much art is getting made.  A lot of my energy has gone into writing a proposal for an artist in residence.  I am super excited about the proposal and I am hoping and praying that I get it!  All prayers and loving thoughts in this regard are gratefully accepted!

Here is my finished April Bead Journal.  I am rather pleased with the way this one turned out.  Plus I had a lot of fun stitching it! I am linking with http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/ http://www.supermomnocape.com/

Here is my Coral stitch as per  Sharon B's  instructions.  This is a simple stitch and I like it a lot.  I didn't do anything very clever with it.  I used a variegated perle cotton.

Simple and lovely to me. I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ http://www.mersad-photography.blogspot.ca/2016/04/sunset-over-city-through-my-lens-nr-39.html
