Beginning January 2008: The Theme will be "Roses and Violets" - a romantic sampler with flower motives, soft roses, deep violets and mossy greens, embellished with sparkly and matte beads, crystals and a bit of metallics here and there
Utterly elegant, subdued and feminine with shades of cream, pearl, white, gold and silver with a few pale and muted pastels....sparklies and beads in matching transparent and and metallic colors...
Ornaments and rich work with a little bit of "Angel" as decor.... but not more in means of info ;-)
6 months (July - Dec 2008) You will work with various solid and varigated silks, metallic threads, beads and crystals to create an intricate embroidery
depicturing a historic garden , this time a "Biedermeier" ( Early Victorian time) "Botanical" garden.
Imagine the lush colors of the rainforest, the deep greens, juicy blues, the vibrant colors of colored frogs, birds, butterflies and beautiful orchids...
Just think of the beautiful buildings in Florence, San Giminiano, Siena and Pisa .. the wellknown artworks in the museums in Florence, the "Pietra
Dura" inlays of precious stones...the light in the Tuscany landscapes with Pine trees and blooming Poppies..... Class begins June 1, 2007
Just think of the lush green nature, the blues of the sea and sky - the drama of volcanoes, the sunsets, palmtrees, shores, intricate details to embroider, you
will stitch lots of Special Stiches, some Backstitching and quite some beads, crystals,cubes, and in this particular case, perhaps even some genuine pearls and
tiny shells etc. to achieve a really precious and more-dimensional look.
Just think of the colors of La Provence - the lavender fields, the pittoresque houses and farms, herbs and flowers,the fabric ornaments in vibrant colors, the blues of sky
12 Months (May 2008) Lush green nature, the blues of the sea and sky - Windmills, old buildings in old towns, tulips and much more - you will stitch lots of
Special Stitches, some Backstitching and beads, crystals, cubes to achieve a really precious and more-dimensional look
