nature prints

When the leaves start turning color it makes me think of nature printing.  I'm not sure why.  Maybe it's because I have a thing for leaves.  I just love them and hate to see bare trees.  Maybe I just want to preserve them.

I am trying to think of a cool way to use these leaves in a stitching project.  I would really like to enter this show   http://www.onnguilds.ca/threadworks/CALLforentry2010b.pdf   

The above leaves I printed with interference paint.  I love that stuff.  It's a little hard to tell from the photo how pretty interference paint is.  If you haven't played with it you really must try it.

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
