images and imaginings




It is so easy to create these two, translucent, lacy flowers with vintage inspired buttons and Swarovski glass pearl centers.

We will use spun polyester mixed media sheets cut into basic floral shapes for our textile artwork.

Learn to apply text and images and build layer upon layer of colors using a magical collection of mists, watercolors and alcohol inks to achieve dream~like translucent effects.

By adding the secret touch you will sculpt these lifeless shapes into shimmering accents of dazzling dimension.

Stack the individual elements to create two, multi~layered assemblages, one with a vintage look button center and another with a Swarovski glass pearl center.

Explore various methods of cold connections to finish your personal adornments as pins which can be applied to apparel, necklaces and bracelets.

Students should bring: heat tool, scissors, pliers (2) chain nose, (1) round nose and (1) wire cutters.

Next workshop in conjunction with the Quilt, Fiber and Mixed~Media Event
January 28th from 6~8pm at the Hampton Inn
Statesville, NC

I will be at the show helping Jane Powell from Random Arts. Check out her fabulous booth full of mixed~media art supplies and goodies at the show Jan 28th & 29th.

Jane is teaching her Tattered Bird Mosaic right after the Floral Adornments class.

Treat yourself to an evening of art!
