I’ve only just started and I’m already in love with this project. I absolutely see how people find this series addictive, because I already want all of the other ones.
Thanks for checking out my stitching 🙂 Have a beautifully stitchy day!

I love all the Ink Circles mandala designs, but I chose this as today’s pick of the day because I very much like how it’s wintery and fun but still holiday appropriate.

(photos and finished piece belong to Sheila C., she was kind enough to let me share them here)
I’ve probably said it a million times, every time I see a Cirque des Cercles finish it looks stunning and unique from every other time I’ve seen it finished. The design from Ink Circles has this amazing talent for coming to vibrant life in a different way for every stitcher. It honestly makes me say “wow” every time I see it stitched up by someone.
This weekend I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed when Sheila’s photos jumped off the page at me announcing her completion of Cirque des Cercles – entirely in beads! It literally took my breath away, and I spent the better part of an hour just staring at her amazingly gorgeous finish….
Ink Circles popular Cirque de Cercles design stitched in BEADS by Sheila C.
Sheila stitched this on 32 count Belfast linen using size 11 delcia beads. Most of the beads are stitched using a half cross, but if you look closely there you can see the textural difference in the little circles where she added them with a full cross.

Sampler style and horses…
Could a design be any more awesome than that?
I’m pretty sure the correct answer is no, a design could not possibly be any more awesome. I just fell in love with this sampler this morning. And yes, I bought it even though I just bought a new sampler to work on at the beginning of January and I didn’t even start that one yet.

I enjoy a good sampler and I really like it when something is done in a sampler style and there’s no alphabet (I think I’ve mentioned that before, I don’t even know why it bothers me.) This sampler chart from Ink Circles brings a bit of snarky sass to your stitching, it’s called Nut Jobs.
Allergen Alert: This sampler was stitched on a planet that also products peanuts, tree nuts, and other nut jobs.
The model for the pieces was stitched on 40 Ct. Park City Blend linen with Gloriana Silks (or DMC 779, 3863, 3011,3041, 3013, 3726). The finished stitch count is 165 x 218. [Read more…]
