This meditation was created from tea dyed cotton and a bit of lace from a thrift store bed skirt, rose linen like fabric from a discarded jacket, bought printed word cotton, peach crochet yarn, and silver warp (weaving) thread a couple of days ago.
I actually needed thinner thread or looser fabric, but I was just seeing what would happen. What happened was that my thumb and forefinger wound up being sore from trying to force the needle and yarn through the tight material, especially where there were three layers!
The silver thread was actually part of a three strand coarse yarn that I had bought to weave with, and just haven't gotten around to using yet. The other two strands are are sort of taupe colored, and very pretty, but no place for them here. I'm sure they'll show up somewhere down the road though!
Nothing too complicated here; just the sheer joy of following the needle around a few scraps of fabric!
