Hi just back from workshop 'Design to Stitch' -great day & I think the six students that attended (2 were off sick) enjoyed it.
We had fun developing designs using collage, brusho, acrylic paint & inktense pens etc-some ladies finding it difficult to let go & be freer with their art work- but we got there in the end!!!
Then the hard part deciding which techniques would work best with their chosen designs- they all worked a background using different forms of paint & then some used bondaweb to position pieces of fabric to the background.
A few of the ladies used my embellisher & loved the quick & contemporary effects- others used free machine embroidery & some appliqued fabric.
Nobody had time to finish their pieces, but hopefully they will at home. The time just flies by!!!
However, they should all be pleased & proud of the results, producing abstract pieces, which all have the potential of being great art & good design.
So stitch away now!!!
