In the afternoon session , Terry showed the class how to apply color with different pencils, marker and waterpens as we worked on fabric. Here is one great result. Working on fabric gave us a different application for this artform. We discussed transferring designs to fabric and canvas. The designs lend themselves to the use of many types of beads (tila, bugle, seed ) as well a memory wire or hotwire to create these abstract projects.
One good reference is Pattern Play. There is one copy in the store and more ordered so call if we can hold one or send one to you.
One of the students is going to design her own holiday cards like the one below .
Another student was working on designs to apply to tshirts and yet another student chose to work on book front. Both are gifts so no pictures to keep the designs a surprise.
We all found this very relaxing , fun, a great way to de-stress, and increase our creative confidence. We learned a repetoire of tangles(patterns) as a starting point for our own creative spark. Then, enjoyed practicing and refining our new found skills.
