day 31, the last PINK RIBBON day

Today my "Pinktober Challenge" ends :
day 31
(and many other things can be celebrated on this day)

You might think that I feel a bit relieved
and to be honest I am.
But I can also say that I'm a bit sad that it all ends here.
Though not quite
because there are a few commissions to make
so the end-total will still have to wait a bit.
But don't worry : I'll let you all know !

I enjoyed my felting and stitching journey
these past 31 days and I will end
with little "firecracker" in red !

Here is my  PINK  RIBBON Textile Jewel
for day 31 :

a wet felted egg-shape donut brooch, stitched with cotton and gold

and a few sequins and seed beads
(6 x 4cm,  2.4 x 1.6")

day 30

The little green circle lay waiting for some days.
I just pick the one that speaks to me most at that moment.
Not many left, so the choice was easy.
And just when I was finished stitching
and taking the pictures
. . . .
 a robin sat on the pergola 
No, he didn't wait till I had my camera ready
but I think he/she wanted to say
that I did the right thing !

The hustle and bustle of yesterday
made way for a more relaxed stitching today,

"BLUE  LAGOON"

Only four more days to find here
a PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel !

day 26 (and an anniversary)

 LATE !

On this very special October day
 there were sooo many things to do
and apart from that
we didn't even have a celebration
what we normally would have on this anniversary day !

Fixing my hair (oh yes, that takes a while)
making a nice dinner for tomorrow for seven (or eight) people
and of course (like a normal Pinktober day)
stitching my textile jewel.
(and taking photo's in very bad light because the clock went back an hour)

For our anniversary I chose a little heart
of felt and silk.

For the jewel I choose brown felt.
When you  mix all the colours on your palette you get brown.

Some might say what a drab colour,

but for me that isn't true at all :

 BROWN 
 is the colour of the earth 
 of skin 
 of soft fur 
 of chocolate and coffee 
 of old leaves that will nourish in spring 
 of a long, quiet and true love 
 brown is nice ! 

I opt for a pendant on a long cord . . .
or should it be a brooch ?
Well, that is for later :
I think that can be decided by the person who buys it !

My PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel
for day 26 :

a little felt heart with silk on the backside, pendant or brooch ?
stitched with silk, linen, cotton and rayon
and many seed beads

(4,5cm,  1.8")

(at least)

day 25

 The ginkgo tree in our garden
is slowly turning from green to gold.
Since last year I know it is 
a "she-tree"
It took her probably about thirty-five years to mature.
But last year she bore fruit for the very first time !
You can't eat them, some even say they stink when crushed,
but I think it's great
a "MOTHER  TREE"

I just read the most wonderful book by Suzanna Simard
about the wisdom of the forest :
"Finding the Mother Tree"

day 22

What I like about making jewels
is the endless possibilities
in shape, colour and stitch.
Most of the time even I don't know
how it will turn out in the end.
I often spend a lot of time deciding what colour combo
will be the best for that particular felted item.
And yes, more than once stitches are unpicked
and made again in another way !

a wet felted hollow brooch with some lace inside
