Hello everyone, this week it is sheaf stitch......A very easy stitch and such a delight to work ! I have used a lovely wool felt for this one with perle 8, coton a broder 16 and lovely crystals, beads and sequins !!!
I have chosen an unusual pallette of colours for this one......its nice to be different and think 'outside the box' so to speak !!! I really enjoyed working this beaded mandala and as I stitch, I know that embroidery is most definately my forte !!! I thank God that I am blessed with this hobby and thank you all for stopping by and showing an interest in what I love........
This is a lovely shot of my grandaughter who has just acquired a 'Spirograph' drawing thingy and wanted me to show it on the blog !!!
And this is a shot that I took in my garden yesterday..........................ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Chris, just love the design, beautiful work as usual,and what a very pretty granddaughter you have.
ReplyDeleteSmashing garden shot as well, have a great weekend.
luv Mike XX
Looks fabulous and so neat!
ReplyDeleteLovely pic of your granddaughter and love the butterfly!!
Have a great Friday!
As usual, I just adore your work. I have studied and been fascinated by mandalas for many years, so I feel that I especially gravitate to your circular works. Just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteHello Chris, I have been following you for weeks and just had to take the time to write and say what wonderful works of art you produce week after week. I was going to doing the TAST but things got in the way and I dont think I could do many of these stitches. I am a real beginner and I only know about 6 stitches but would like to say that I was inspired by your dragonflies and I have made a cushion which I am delighted with and would like to show you but I have no idea how to send it to you, I have only just managed to find out how to leave a comment. If you send me your email I can send it direct if you would like to see it. Also where do you get your lovely felt or do you dye it yourself?
ReplyDeleteI will be watching for next weeks little gem
Love and hugs

You've made another fantastic Mandala. I can see you enjoyed working with this simple yet rewarding stitch and in 'unusual' colours.
ReplyDeleteYou have beauty all around you, your granddaughter, her art work and the butterflies in the garden. All great sources of inspiration.
I really like this! The colors are perfect for it. It reminds me of woods.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris....love the dark background you have used for this mandala as the colours of your thread show up beautifully. You have certainly shown off this beautiful stitch with your leaf type design...another mini masterpiece.
