day 30

Because the clock went back to "winter-time" yesterday
we've plunged into darker times :
taking pictures outside isn't possible anymore
when I've finished stitching.
Making the last parts for a necklace
is always a bit more time consuming than you should think.
So again pictures taken with artificial light.
I hope it shows enough
of the delicate pastel colours of this jewel.

a wet felted two-sided pendant, stitched with cotton, linen and silk,
a tiny piece of silk at the back,
at the bottom a tassle with a mother-of-pearl bead,

When I was finished stitching today
it was already too dark
(and besides : a huge shower with thunder started)

Someone asked me to make the same jewel again
. . . . .
I never do that
Yes, I do make more than one fish
and more than one heart
but they're never the same !

day 28

Although most of our garden is still green
There is a lack of more bright colours now,
the few Echinacea are the only ones.
The dark red / pink base that was there for today
asked for a bright accent

day 26

Today, 56 years ago
(when we were still very young)
we said "YES"
Time flew and now we're here

Because it's so much more autumn and colder,
the central heating makes short work of wet felt
that's a plus now.

Pink Ribbon Textile Jewels !
See you.

day 25

Today I had a piece of sea blue felt
that I cut out for a luck box.
It made me think of the sea
and that reminded me of the song of Sweet Molly Malone
(and yes, that stuck to my mind all day long)

Working most of the time with only one strand of cotton
making the tiniest French knots :
shells, sea stars, seaweed . . . a true miniature bit of tide line.
(Pictures are taken with lamplight : late on a rainy day !)

My  PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel
for day 25 :

a little felt box, stitched with silk, cotton, some bits of mesh,
a few sequins and seed beads, it closes with a homemade cord
which has a charm of mother-of-pearl.

day 24

Many people often ask
if I work ahead and plan my jewels . . .
but NO

Of course I have to plan my wet felting
because otherwise they are too wet to stitch !
But when I'm using ready-made woolen felt
I let myself be guided mostly by the colours of the felt
but more often by the colours of the threads.
I have a big stash with "normal" DMC stranded cotton,
but also various linen and silk threads
(in the solid or variegated version)
Snippets of mesh or tulle and seed beads are inspiration too.
Today's jewel was created this way :
all the greens reminded me of ferns in a shady garden.

AND : fortunately our computer-wizard had time for me today
and though he didn't have a clue either what went wrong
he made it all work again !!! 

My  PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel
for day 24 :

a little felt heart pendant, with a snippet "Kaffe Fassett" at the back,
stitched with silk, cotton and rayon, some seed beads
and a gray-green stone might be jade (or agate or ?)

at the bottom 0n a metal necklace
(5 x 6 cm,   2 x 2.4")

For a donation
of at least

 € 15,- 

SOLD !

this lush green heart can be for you !
Such a beautiful gift for someone dear (or for yourself)

You just need yo send me an email at
 fiberrainbow@gmail.com

The "PHOTO-UPLOAD-TROUBLES" are faaaaar from over !!!
I took the pictures with my phone (so not the best)
and through my email they came to the computer
But I only see the numbers to download and NOT the photo itself
so still a difficult matter !
But : I'm here again
pfffffft !

I hope to see you tomorrow
because Pinktober is still going strong
and there will be a new PINK  RIBBON Textile Jewel tomorrow !

 

day 22 (. . . and still the problem not solved)

SORRY again
(of course : still weekend
but I hope that things will be better tomorrow !)

We had a lovely High tea party,
still for Man's birthday (a week ago)
and the PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel that was for today
(a fish)
is already sold too
:-)

Hopefully I will be able to show it later to you anyway !!!

Now (24 / 10) that the problems are solved with my photo-program

I can finally show the jewel for this Sunday
