day 21

 Yesterday I looked a bit better at my garden.
Normally I'm out there during spring, summer and autumn,
though right now "Pinktober" holds me inside most of the time.

Years ago a jay planted an oak tree.
It grew from a tiny baby with two leaves into a small potted oak of 1,5 m.
(because our garden is nowhere near the size fit for a normal oak tree !!!)
This year I even have our first "harvest" :
more than thirty acorns !
(Ha, I even saw a jay looking at them the other day !!!
It would be nice if he planted a grandchild of the original tree !)

My PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel
for day 21 :

a wet felted oak leaf,
stitched with silk, cotton and rayon,
some sequins and many seed beads
(8 x 5 cm,   3.15 x 2")

For a donation

€ 15

SOLD  !

this colourful leaf can be yours
to adorn your garment.

day 20

 Autumn is really entering the garden right now :
leaves of the flowering Cherry start falling
and the Ginkgo gets yellow leaves
at the end of its branches.

I LOVE the colours of Autumn !
(that's probably why I made this little felt yesterday)

"WHISKEY"

After the rain of this morning the sun came out
and the temperature was just lovely :
great for me to be able to make the pictures outside !
Then I really looked at the garden
and started to get rid of some of the dead plants.
Not everything will go,
I leave a lot standing through the winter
for the birds and tiny critters.

The aster I got from my dear blogging-friend Birgit
still gives a lot of colour !

(hmmmm, don't know yet where to put this beauty . . .
though I KNOW it can be invasive !!!
I might regret I bought it some time in the future !)

Hope to see you tomorrow for another
Pink Ribbon Textile Jewel !

day 19

What colours I choose for my jewels depends
on the moment of the day.

Though some might think that  white  isn't exactly a "colour"
but I think differently.
I'm very much in LOVE with the whites
of the full moon or
of a winter's day with ice and snow !
So, there will be white Textile Jewels 
from time to time too.

Here is my PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel
for day 19 :

a wet felted disc brooch with gold and silk integrated,

a crocheted silk flower and a tiny bit of lace
stitched with cotton, silk and seed beads
(6 cm,   2.4")

For a donation
of (at least)

 € 15 

SOLD  !

this white beauty can be yours,
to give to someone dear
or to keep for yourself !

  "MOON  GARDEN"  

Please come again tomorrow :

there will be a new Textile Jewel for Pink Ribbon !

day 18

An early bird this time
:-)
(that leaves a bit of time to do some more felting !)

For this jewel
I just started by making a BIG textile bead,
and after that the rest of the idea emerged.

On a background of "Hobbs" I start with all kinds of snippets of fabric.
Then comes the fun part of random stitching
with my wonderful shiny polyester/rayon threads with different machine stitches.
After rolling it around a skewer and stitching it tight
I finish the holes at the side with matching coloured thread.
Done !

Here is my PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel
for day 18 :

a wet felted half circle with a long textile bead and on an adjustable homemade cord,
stitched on both sides with silk and silver thread,
and many seed beads.
(6 x 8cm,    2.4 x 3.15")
