Mini Landscapes
Looking for something fun to do with all those little scraps of fabric left over from your various projects? This class is just the ticket! We start with a base fabric which is provided and then layer on different pieces to create the landscape you have in your mind. It could be real or imaginary. After pieces are arranged they will be handstitched into place using some basic embroidery stitches. Students can then embellish their scenes with as much or as little as they wish. There are no end of possibilities using beads, stitching, yarn or perhaps sentimental charms that bring meaning to this highly personal art form. Students will be shown a variety of ways to finish, frame or mount your little landscape. They make charming decor items, pictures, cards or fabric accents.
Students are to bring:
Fabric scraps
Embroidery floss,
Needles for stitching,
Pins or a glue stick,
Other materials that you would like to use in embellishments.
Wilma Kirmse, your instructor, is a member of the Canadian Embroidery guild and a former public school teacher. Her classes are warm, supportive environments for meeting new friends and exploring your creativity. Wilma will bring a bin of scraps that will be available for you to pick through in case you need that little something extra to finish your piece.
