day 26 . . . ( 53 years)

TIME is a strange thing . . .

When you look back
it is almost impossible to really tell
how many years have gone by

53 years

Such special a day asks for a special Jewel
don't you think ?

(so that one was drying yesterday too,

and it wasn't hard to choose the colours for it !)

So here's my PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel

for day 26 :

a wet felted heart shape pendant, stitched on both sides with cotton floss,
some mesh, some sequins and seed beads

and a bigger crystal bead at the bottom,

on an adjustable wax cord

(6 cm)

For a donation of at least

€ 15,-

SOLD  !

this token of love
can be yours.

Just send me an email at
fiberrainbow@gmail.com

and we'll arrange the rest
(Paypal is possible and easy

but mind the postage)

ALL the money goes to PINK  RIBBON !

"YOU'RE IN MY HEART"

*

Our neighbours have a "garden"
that is more STONE than anything else.

The Hedera that grows on the fence at both sides

has been to the "hairdresser" a few days ago :

and flowers, with much needed food for insects right now,

were cut off
(and fell to our side)

So sad !

But they look lovely in my little vase !

Hope to see you tomorrow

for a new Textile Jewel !

day 25

  Is everybody sleeping the last few days ???  
  (or no one needs a present for a loved one  
  with the upcoming holidays ?)  

  

The clock went back an hour today
ohhhhhh
just when do they STOP with the silly
summer-and-winter-time-change-thing !?!
Let's go back to how it used to be.
All the so-called benefits they say the changing has
are (to my knowledge)
non-existent !

The stitching and all took just a bit longer today,
because the felted piece wasn't dry yet
and I had to make a cord for the pendant
because I had no matching colour.


My  PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel for day 25 :

a wet felted MOON-pendant hanging on a textile bead,
stitched with 13 pearl moons and seed beads,
a nuno moon on the other side
and a mother-of-pearl full moon at the bottom
(11 x 6,5 cm)

For a donation of at least

  € 15,-  

SOLD !

this mystical pendant can be yours.
(you might be in time to wear it at the next full moon

on the last day of October
or any full moon after that   ;-)  !)
Just send me an email that you want it at

  fiberrainbow@gmail.com  

and we'll arrange the rest.

(Paypal is possible and easy

but mind the postage)

ALL  THE  MONEY  GOES  TO  PINK  RIBBON !

  "13  MOONS"  

I hope to see you tomorrow
when there is a new Textile Jewel for Pink Ribbon !

day 24

It is amazing how fast
the colour of the tree leaves is changing :
autumn has come quite suddenly in that regard.
And though I really love this season
it makes me thinking
(and longing a bit) of spring.

Spring is
promises of new flowers and sweet fragrances.
In the garden I don't have room for it
but lilacs were always something I wanted
(though I must say it isn't much of a pretty shrub
after the flowers are gone !)

So lilac it is today !

My PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel for day 24 :

a wet felted hollow brooch with silk threads inside,
stitched with variegated silk
and lots and lots of seed beads
(5 cm)

For a donation of 

€ 15,-

SOLD  !

this spring-like brooch can be yours.
(I would love to add the fragrance for you too
but unfortunately that isn't possible)
A sweet adornment for any garment!
All you need to do it sned me an email at

fiberainbow@gmail.com
and we'll arrange the rest.

(Paypal is possible and easy,

but think of the postage)

ALL  THE  MONEY  IS  FOR  PINK  RIBBON !

"LILAC"

Sorry,
I took some lovely pictures in the garden
but the pictures came out more light blue than lilac
so I took new ones against white paper inside

Hope to see you again tomorrow

for a new Textile Jewel

for Pink Ribbon !

day 23

Today I've been busy felting again
Choosing colors and deciding what shape to make.
Another black one?
White?
No : gray !
(and two others lying on the heating to fully dry)

a wet felted hollow brooch with sequins inside,
stitched with thin crochet cotton
and many more sequins and seed beads
(5,5 cm)

SOLD  !

this distinguished little jewel can be yours,
some stylish adornment for a little black dress perhaps ?

  "PEWTER"  

There used to be a tin foundry in an special old building in Delfshaven,
part of Rotterdam (and from where the Pilgrim Fathers left for the New World)
It was fun to see the tin melting and some cup or plate emerge from the form.
But I love the colour of old pewter.

I hope to see you tomorrow
for the next Textile Jewel !

day 22

While I'm working on the Pink Ribbon challenge,
and now 2/3 of the month has gone by,
I realized I didn't make anything PINK yet . . .
And thinking of that
I thought : how many pink animals are there ?
Apart from a newborn piggy
I could only think of a flamingo.
(there must be creatures in the sea no doubt that are pink . . .)

So here's my PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel
for day 22 :

a wet felted hollow brooch with sequins inside,
stitched with thin crochet cotton
and many seed beads
(5.5 cm)

Hope to see you tomorrow

day 21

Storm
and bits of sunshine and some rain :
truly AUTUMN.
The water next to our garden ripples in waves
made by the wind .
The ducks peddle around a bit
but hardly any other birds.

The pendant I stitched today
is connected to the water :
that lively edge that gives our garden just that bit of extra fun.

day 20

Today was a day that needed a bit of sunshine
Some rain . . . dry again

(of the Brassica family)
that brighten up spring so lovely

stitched with variegated rayon and lots of seed beads
