WORKSHOP - WILD! FABRIC COLLAGE ANIMALS AND BIRDS
Description: |
We'll use bits and pieces of printed fabrics to "paint" an animal portrait. Choose from one of my many animal or bird designs (see PORTFOLIO page) or from a pattern I create for you from a photo you provide in advance. We'll chop up our fabrics, divide them into values, and fill in the value marked pattern sections with corresponding value pieces of fabric
Add a bit of tulle, and some simple quilting and you will have created your unique masterpiece. If you prefer to finish your piece without sewing, that's okay too! No-sew finishing options are also taught. The results are wild, whimsical, and totally believable! Instruction on the use of Adobe® Photoshop® Elements to create a pattern is included in the course. No drawing skill needed, but expect to learn about values, contrast, lines, and eyes. And a new way of looking at fabric! |
