final result for PINK RIBBON !

"Pinktober" 2024
is over for a good week
in which I finished a few extra Textile Jewels
and sent all of them on their way to their new owners !
(two more in the mail on Monday)

It always takes a bit of time
before I can announce it :
the final result for my
Pink Ribbon Challenge
of this October !

   DRUM  ROLL   

€  900,-

Yeeeeeah !!!

I know
I worked hard for it myself
but I wouldn't have been able to reach this
without the help of all my wonderful customers
(and I even received some donations
without a Textile Jewel !)


A very BIG THANK YOU to

LOTTE, ELKE, MADELON,
SUZANNE, SANDRA
SHARRON, SILKE
MARTINA, SYLVIA, LARISA,
NAYLSA, SIMONE,
JOLAN, JOKE, GILA,
TWINK, SUSANNE, MORAG,
GONNIE, ALLISON,
BIRGIT, MAGGIE,
ANN, JANE, MIRANDA

(not 31 names, because several people
snapped up more than one Textile Jewel !!!)

Thank you, each and everyone of you
that you supported me
to achieve this great result
for this, sadly very necessary, cause !

day 31, the last PINK RIBBON Day !

Because I was stitching this morning
on the VERY  LAST (RED) jewel of this month
I thought it was indeed a RED day.

When I stand before the closet and look what to wear that day
I often have a feeling about what colour I should wear.
It can be "definitely not that one"
or, this colour or that one . . .
but today I was totally sure it was RED
(hmmm, though I don't have a "middle" name
when I would have . . . it should be "Colour" :
you can see it in my art, my clothes and even my shoes !)

My PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel
for day 31 :


a wet felted hollow circle pendant with a felt bead
stitched with wool, cotton, silk
and some sequins many seed beads
on an adjustable wax cord
(9 x 6cm,  3,5 x 2,4")

of at least

 € 15,-

day 30

. . . and now, the end is near . . .

It is the penultimate day of the month
which means the second to last Textile Jewel that will be here this time.

The colours of my last felted circle were so spring-like
that I couldn't help but respond to it !!!
Besides
we here have autumn
but the southern part of earth
celebrates spring !
(don't know if they have Bluebells over there
but that equals "spring" to me)

a wet felted circular pendant, stitched on two sides with cotton
another felt circle and some seed beads,
on an adjustable homemade cord
(8 x 5cm,  3,15 x 2")
