Milagro-WIP

My sweet Milagro book

is still a work in progress 

gentle readers..

But I expect it to be finished shortly...

I love the little hidden covers..

like the cloth cover below..

 

and this tiny flap in the photos below..

now what is hidden is what I have to be told..

I know the book is about 

Sacred Sight

and miracles of seeing things clearly..

So I am sure the perfect thing will make itself known to me..

Yes. it will be listed in my gallerie soon..

and yes, I have interest in it already..

Staying focused on what I can control 

and not on what I can't

is how I am continuing to create

and tiny stitches always help..

Milagro

Milagro

or miracle 

and we could all use a little miracle work about now...

 

I have several more details to work on..

but art takes the time it takes..

this is a mixed media slow stitch book..

now... back to painting...

C4N! 

And again.. Sorry!! Sold!!

Rosa..

my pink stitch book just sold..

she is well stitched and has lots of lace elements..

That have been tea dyed... I love her subtle pinks 

and tiny bits of stitches...

Fiber art has been a love of mine since I was a teen.. 

my family tried to talk me out of it.. but here I am

stitching away...

WIP.. Persephone..

Ciao dear ones..

I am still working on my new 

Persephone 

painting..

I work on her everyday..

and I have her tattoos painted ..

so many details...

I changed several details..

I have placed her hair over her right shoulder and 

and still have to darken it..

 

I am unsure about creating more tattoos ..

I think she needs some colorful Tatts below the quote..

on her neck and above the leaf design,

but I am sure she will let me know..

I like her no nonsense gaze and steely confidence..

we all need that 

don't we?

I wanted to let you know

what is going on.. in the studio..

and I appreciate you for 

stopping by the 

Lily Cottage..

Tiny Flower Book

My Tiny Flower Book

is finally finished..

dear reader..

and it was a labour of love...

I just warmed the kettle to make another

tea batch..

 

not sure if it will be another book..

the dyed laces will tell me

what they want to be..

I am still working on my

Persephone

painting..

and hope to have some more WIP 

photos for you soon..

If you are interested in the 

Tiny Flower Book

Tiny Stitches

Ciao gentle readers..

There is a lot going on 

world wide

and many people are feeling a sense of 

anger and frustration 

and 

being overwhelmed...

so I move from painting..

to slow stitching..

slow stitching..

came about from the slow food movement..

which I have been doing as long as I can remember..

Italians don't rush.. especially with food..

we take our time and enjoy the meal

we eat first and do everything else after

so I wasn't surprised to learn about slow stitching..

because it is what I was already doing..

to me.. slow stitching is about three basic principles

1. release perfection

2. forget about your agenda

3. enjoy each stitch

When we hurry, we destroy the beauty in everything we do..

but also we destroy the beauty in everything we

feel.

 so I have been

enjoying each stitch and my tiny book

will be finished soon

and sent to my 

Art Books gallerie

but it is still a work in progress..

despair is designed to paralyze us..

so I breathe slowly and Stitch...
