A Full Wednesday Part 2

Susan P.: Line sampler

I'm finally getting a chance to sit down and write about Part 2 of last Wednesday! In Wednesday night's Hand Stitching class, we worked on the theme of Pattern and Rhythm. I will be showing you some finished samples next week. Students brought in their Line sample and challenge pieces this week. Some great pieces and explorations...

Kate G.: Line challenge. I love how she shows movement in this piece.

One of my students, Peggy G., is taking the class for the second time and is doing it as an independent study. Her theme is clouds and she is looking at both actual clouds and interpretations of them in art, including Asian art. Here are a few of the fabrics that she painted and printed in Class #1.




Peggy is trying out a few ideas. I love the little sampler of different stitches in cloud shapes. She is going to use that sampler as a guide to experiment in a larger format.
