First up, its PhotoHunt day (for real) and today's theme is "Bling". It was a bit tricky to find the right shot, in the end this is what stood out the most.
This image isn't "bling-y" itself, but this mosaic certainly depicts bling. This is one of the mosaics on the floor of the Cathedral at St. Anne-de-Beaupre just outside of Quebec City. Why it was there, and exactly what it represents I'm not sure. However, a treasure chest full of gold and money certainly is bling.
Ink Circles Seasonal Mandalas - Winter, Spring, Summer

Summer
Yesterday for day six of the Crazy Challenge I started Summer on my Ink Circles Seasonal Mandalas, with the fabric already gridded and ready to go! What a different that made, I didn't make one mistake or counting error! I'll definitely be continuing the griding on for my last season, Autumn.

Not only did I stitch yesterday, but I did some framing. I finally picked up a couple of ready-made frames at Michael's earlier this week. Yesterday I took the time to stretch and pop these pieces into their new frames and they look great!
Those mandalas are going to look fabulous all together - don't think I would have the patience to grid, I only ever did that once.
ReplyDeleteLove those JBW designs so cute lovely photos

Great progress on the mandalas! I really like the idea of stitching them as one piece. Looking forward to watching your progress on this.

What beautiful babies. And the stitching is nice too. LOL! So glad the frog left your place. That can be so frustrating.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your challenge piece. Your framing is gorgeous as are the two receipients.
ReplyDeleteRe the bling image: that's not what I'd have expected to see in a place of worship! ;O
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that the "bling" in the church refers back to the money-changers in the Bible?
ReplyDeleteThat little boy at the end --- oh my gosh ... what a sweet little half smile. LOL
Hey Dani, fantastic progress and framing. I was wondering: What tread do you use for the gridding?
ReplyDeleteBest regards, Ann

Your framed pieces for Chelsey and Logan turned out so nicely, Dani!! And what great progress on your mandalas. Glad to hear that the gridding has eliminated any counting errors :)
