Journal 52 : Week 27

Journal 52 is a weekly prompt from Effy Wild (Free HERE) that I'm creating on a deck of jumbo playing cards 3.5'' x 4.75'' (8.5 x 12 cm). Each card will include stitch, a found word, and be inspired by the project I've been working on that week or what's lying leftover on my work table. See the original post HERE.
#27 : Light. Inspired by the rediscovery of some pieces from a play day with alcohol inks. They remind me of stained glass. 

Light is closely aligned to one of my favourite words, Shine. I had thought of a candle initially, and when I went looking in my cupboard for sari ribbon, I found some lovely metallic pieces embossed and coloured with alcohol inks from another play day. 

One was perfect for my candle. Thought I would show you the machine and hand stitching from behind. I always glue another playing card on the back of my work so they look like the original deck from behind when finished.

I love the texture and glow of this one.
