| there will be more holes, more needle weaving and more... |
I'm also working on a needle felting project that I can't show yet but while gathering my supplies, I found some wonderful silks in my stash. I'm thinking there will some weaving, braiding and spinning coming from some of this in the near future.

| lots of possibilities with this silk |
And wanted to share this wonderful video that glennis posted on Facebook this morning. It is the first exhibit of mandalas created by patients of the Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung.

Wow gorgeous yellow! Weaving and spinning is coming for you? That would be great. I will start soon too. Thanks for the video - hugs Nat
I like the purple!
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STITCHER AND A SLACKER IS SLEEP. Ha-when I don't know what direction to take I often take a nap-my sleep solution! Your fideley holes are like your portals in a way seeing through to the other side of the void, and those colorful silks full of potential.
Deanna, your meditative project has such a lovely, ethereal feel to it. And that video, wow, thanks for passing it on, I love mandalas. The silks are breathtaking -- you will spin the strands of silk to twist them to make yarn? I have no idea here, I'm guessing!
I loved the Jung program and have thought about it all day. Your meditative piece is wonderful. So many images come to mind when I look at it. Sari silk is my weakness. I have some that I want to weave and some others that I think some sort of binding threads together would be fun. Thanks for all the inspiration.
your meditative stitching is very, well - meditative. seriously, it's quite absorbing to view, and must be to stitch as well.
here we go, X fingers it works, i've turned my word verif'n off for now. jolly nuisance.
the silk is going to create some marvellous weaving's....
i like this piece, and i even like the purple!
i love that top photo. just beautiful deanna
Those holes are fantastic, and the whole piece is very interesting. I like the purple too!
The video is amazing, I am fascinated by the link between creativity, meditation and healing. Thank you.
Your meditative piece is looking wonderful. Very lovely.
love that Lacey stitching
the silk makes hand reach out - wishing to fondle it. This is acey. I can't get into blogger as anything but anonymous.
your gauzy piece is amazing! I will have to take a look at that video, thank you.
Love the yellow!
Sorry Deanna, not commenting about anything on this post, although it all looks wonderful and I'm going to go back and look properly. But I wanted to ask, I saw a comment you made on Trace Willans blog, SoewnEarth, about her tutorial for using eggy yolk with dyeing....did you have a go with this? and how did it turn out? I have an egg a chicken put her toenail in, it'd be perfect to try this...no leaves though and it's too rainy to go looking...aah!
I might be doing a workshop with her in April, the group is so big she's been brought in to teach the overflow, I won't know until the day which group I'll end up in, but there'll be chance to talk to her anyway. I could even request to be in her group, she looks amazing, then so does the other tutor...ooh agonies!
these intricate circle spaces ...just love them, especially the woven one next to the triangles is my favorite.
Loving that stitching in progress.
