Finished a band to wrap this year's art journal this. J'adore! Class from Wanderlust 25 by Dina Wakley. Please click for full image.

This linen fabric band is to go around my art journal... to keep it closed and it's cool. There are four panels of acrylic paint: orange, turquoise, pink, purple. Each panel has a stencil that has been painted in white. The paint to the right of each panel has been added by hand. For example, the orange panel has some turquoise on it, which is on the right side of it. Each panel also has a doodle of the shape that the panel is representing. Circles, hearts, flowers, and stars and finally some charms have been added to each panel. Finally, a few fabric squares have been sewed on and a pompon ribbon along the bottom.

I've been in a 'finish all the projects' kind of mood lately so back to working this abandoned embroidery from well over a year ago!

Embroidery project of brown rabbits in a field of yellow, purple and blue flowers. Only two purple flowers are filled in, and need centres and the rabbits have no eyes yet.

Some more holes mended on the old cardigan, one holey area was too large for my mending disc so I used a book. 🪡

Hand stitching the label onto a piece of artwork is how I quietly add the last bit of love before introducing my art more publicly. Like the rug it's attached to, I make my labels with discarded home textiles.

Handstitching hanging pockets on the back of my handwoven art pieces is not my favorite part of the process, but at least today I can do it on the sunny front porch and listen to the wind in the leaves.
