day 17, number 9

Because this year's challenge is a bit different,
due to physical discomfort,
than previous years the jewels I create
are a bit different too :
more fabric bits than felt.

For many years I know Hazel
(we met at the beginning of Jude's stitching community)
and I greatly admire her ability to tell tiny "cloth stories"
(hmmm, and she has a way with words too  <3 )

For my new jewel I made a tiny seascape
and in it : one of her boats !
(thanks Hazel !)

My PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel

a poly felt and fabric brooch
stitched with tiny bits of felt, paper, tulle and seed beads

 "RED HOT CHILI  PEPPER" 

It seemed "mending" wasn't the right idea (yet)
the white patch was simply too bright,

day 9, number 5

A gloomy rainy day today.
Has autumn really begun now ?
At least I had to stitch with an extra lamp
on my hands, although my work-chair
is right in front of a window !

Because we have feline house guests again for a few days
I thought this piece of fabric was appropriate
for today's jewel.

day 7, number 4

I'm often surprised how long it takes to stitch
these rather small items,
particularly when seed beads are involved.
(and I'm still forced to do things slowly too)

Many months ago I made some small masks / faces
so I thought to follow that path again.

Here is my PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel
number 4 :

A poly felt brooch, stitched with cotton,
a tiny piece of lace, 2 buttons, sequins and seed beads

(5 cm,  1.2")

For a donation of
(at least)

 € 20,- 

SOLD  !

this funny green face can be yours
to keep for yourself of give to someone dear.

day 5 : number 3

A bit later than thought
(getting some essential groceries and daughter visiting)
but just before dinner I could take the pictures
of today's Textile Jewel :
earrings this time.
It was fun to choose the tiny bits for the backside.
Ages ago, my mother used to say
"no one lives at the back"
but for this I don't agree with her
. . .
