day 22

While I'm working on the Pink Ribbon challenge,
and now 2/3 of the month has gone by,
I realized I didn't make anything PINK yet . . .
And thinking of that
I thought : how many pink animals are there ?
Apart from a newborn piggy
I could only think of a flamingo.
(there must be creatures in the sea no doubt that are pink . . .)

So here's my PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel
for day 22 :

a wet felted hollow brooch with sequins inside,
stitched with thin crochet cotton
and many seed beads
(5.5 cm)

For a donation of at least

  € 15,-  

this pink statement

can be yours,
to keep or to give away to someone dear.
You just need to send me an email at

fiberrainbow@gmail.com
(or let me know in the comments you want it)

and we'll arrange the next steps.

(Paypal is possible and easy

but mind the postage)

ALL THE MONEY GOES TO PINK RIBBON !

because there are sooo many pink seed beads on the front
my special "Pink Ribbon seed bead 
is on the back !

  "FLAMINGO"  

(of pink flowers there are MANY,

here the brooch is lying in the leaf rosette of a Digitalis)

Hope to see you tomorrow

for a new Textile Jewel !

day 21

Storm
and bits of sunshine and some rain :
truly AUTUMN.
The water next to our garden ripples in waves
made by the wind .
The ducks peddle around a bit
but hardly any other birds.

The pendant I stitched today
is connected to the water :
that lively edge that gives our garden just that bit of extra fun.

Today was a day that needed a bit of sunshine
Some rain . . . dry again

that brighten up spring so lovely

Autumn
is the time to wear my socks again.
And of course these are homemade socks !
(nothing better to keep your feet warm !)
A sweater and a pair of jeans
to complete the whole picture.

A few years ago I did an indigo-workshop
and I thought I would be able to dye lots of stuff
But, alas, only time and room for a few things.
(unfortunately it never came to my OWN vat . . .)
Ohhhh how I love that magic moment when the cloth
comes out of the vat :
from a yellowy-green it turns
to a wonderful
BLUE

day 18

A dark and rainy autumn day.
Hardly enough light to work by,
but I managed
sitting near the window.
At the end of the afternoon the clouds cleared a bit
so there was enough light to take pictures outside

for me
:-)

It would have been just the sort of day
that you want to light a nice fire in the fireplace ...

and no fireplace !)
