Class starting "Frozen
Reflections"
Designed by Lorene Salt
"Frozen Reflections" was inspired by an unpublished
1920 era Liberty Magazine cover designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This
design has us exploring the many faceted faces of ice. I decided to
experiment with a colour palette of teal, pale mauve, and soft shades of
blue because I wanted to show the cool qualities of the icicles and the
refraction of the sunlight shining through the ice bubbles.
Students will be provided with a blank canvas with the outline of the design
drawn on to it. Students will learn how to create texture by layering
stitches as well as learning a variety of specialty stitches such as Double
Fan, Rectangular Jessica, Tramé and Trellis, Diaper patterns and Laid
fillings. This piece is further embellished with Swarovski crystals,
pearls, bugle and seed beads. This is an Intermediate level piece.
Threads used include DMC and Finca Perle Cottons, Kreinik #8 Braid, Planet
Earth Silk Opal, Caron Impressions, DMC #5 Perle Cotton Variations, Vineyard
Silk, ThreadworX #8 Overdyed Kreinik Braid, and Rainbow Gallery Fyre
Works.
The patterns for this piece will be purchased by the chapter, and lessons
1 & 2 will be available at this meeting. Kits are available for
purchase and will include 18-count French Blue mono canvas. You will
need four 12" stretcher bars and the usual sewing supplies.
The December and February meetings will be devoted to continuing work on
this piece with lessons 3 & 4 available in December and lessons 5 &
6 in February. Questions relating to directions or techniques will
be emailed to the teacher, and her advice will always be available to us.
