day 31 : THE LAST PINK RIBBON DAY !


Today is the last Pink Ribbon day !
After the white full moon
(which I'm delighted to say is going to a dear friend in the US)
I wanted to make another     white    jewel
(and a pendant too)

Technically it's not the very last one
because I still have some jewels to make on special order.
(that's okay with me because it raises the donation
I can make in the end !)

My Pink Ribbon Textile Jewel
for day 31 :

a WHITE  OVAL  pendant,
with a fabric bead and a long adjustable wax cord,
felt, hand stitched with silk, rayon and silver thread,
sequins and many seed beads.

This would look radiant on a little black dress,
or a sweater (of any colour)

This last jewel can be yours,
(to keep or to give away to someone dear)
for a donation of

  € 10  


SOLD  !

(or a bit more)
You just need to tell me in an email :
fiberrainbow@gmail.com
(or in the comments down here)

ALL the money goes to the Pink Ribbon Fund !



 "WHITE  LIGHT" 


While making that last one,
in fact stitching the least few beads :
my nylon thread looped around the tiny box
..................

with this result

GRRRRRRRRRRR

I think most of them are back in the box again,
though I may find a "few" later

day 28

A bit confusing :
back to "winter-time"
which means sleeping an hour longer
eating an hour later ...
(always hate this transition :

like it used to be, long ago)

Good to remember those warm days
in the summer garden :
the humming of insects,
the fluttering butterflies !

day 27

Yesterday
was a bad-back day !
Stitching soooo many seed beads did the trick ...

I know it's because of my posture while stitching
(and overloading my back during garden work this summer)
but it's SO hard to change this !
I realize I'm lopsided in the chair ever so often
when I'm concentrated on my work
and need to correct it again.

Working at the sewing machine
was a better option for today !

My Pink Ribbon Textile Jewel
for day  27 :

a FEATHER brooch, fabric and felt, free motion machine stitched
with rayon thread.

The ice-blue jewel will look wonderful
on a denim jacket !

or to give away to someone dear.

day 26

A special anniversary today.
(51)

That's why
I choose to make the jewel with this design.

Daughter and one grandson came to dinner
so there wasn't enough time to finish the jewel before that :
in fact it's not finished even now ...
But
that leaves a choice
for the buyer !

My Pink Ribbon Textile Jewel
for day  26 :

a dusted purple JEWEL with two hearts,
felt, stitched with silk and rayon thread
and lots and lots of seed beads.

Because not entirely finished, the buyer can choose it to be
a brooch
or
a pendant
(with a textile bead on a long adjustable cord)


For a donation of

€ 10

SOLD  !

(or a bit more is welcome)
you can choose how I finish
this jewel for YOU.

All you need to do is send me an e-mail at
fiberrainbow@gmail.com

ALL the donated money goes to Pink Ribbon !


a brooch ?

a pendant ?

(NO, I didn't see that moon last night)
And today
overcast and now and then a fine drizzle ...
AUTUMN weather !

I took out the machine once more :
for another tree.
In the house where we lived before we came here
we had a birch tree, right in front of the house.
Light and airy,
lovely green in spring
and yellow in autumn.

immediately chopped it down :
because of the many flying little seeds)

but not sharp)

See you tomorrow
(not in the afternoon either)
