Gatherings..little gifts from "the Heavens"...




Well, maybe not from the Heavens...but what I have been finding especially delightful lately as I gather and gather pieces together for projects: "the right color" or the right piece of silk embellishment or the right tiniest bit of wool seems to appear at the right moment! And, usually after I think the project hasn't come together yet!

So, here a few photos of projects in process with some of the "unexpected treasures" that suddenly turn up while in the gathering and lay out stages!

In the yellow flower-to-be, just the "right" silk embellishment color... on the right of it, and some refound yarn!

In the orange dyed scarf-to-be, one of my dyeing experiments-discovered some pre felts made for an earlier project...

And in the Second Story- second hand sari inspired pieces-the elephant will likely fit well with some more rediscovered yarn nd some strips of the scarf silk!

Happy gathering to all and no doubt little gifts will be turning up for you, too!
