Started On Six

I am now working on the sixth part of this mandala. The backstitching is still on the fourth part, but I've made a bit of progress.

Basketweave Earrings

This artist uses traditional basketweave techniques to make jewelry.  Her earrings are made of wire and stone, and she even uses the harder version of basketweave of going clockwise instead of counterclockwise.  I love the look and the creativity and boldness of translating the technique to a complete new medium.


Yay, It's Done!

I feel like I've been slacking so much on stitching despite being alone and not working.  It brings me joy, therefore, to finish something off!

Little Bits Of Roof

I now have little bits of roof done.  Progress.

Another Blurry Photo

I couldn't get the camera to focus on these earrings, either.  The left ones are made of wampum shells.  The right is Acoma pottery.  Acoma pottery reminds me of the Romanian pottery I bought when we were in Moldova.

I Have A Tree

I have a tree on my sampler.  There are five across, and one and a half are done.  Things are coming along.

This Is Not A Corner

It looks like I am coming to a corner.  I am actually coming to the center, though.  Not quite to the middle of the top yet.
