SHINING NEEDLE SOCIETY CYBERCLASS
Class dates: 3/8/12 - 6/8/12
This 3-month cyber workshop, beginning March 8th, explores both historical techniques of silk and metal thread embroidery through the ages, in addition to traditional/composite canvas stitches. This 10" by 10" geometric design is on #18 canvas in two color families of silk (or cotton) plus metallics. The techniques include:gobelin pattern with trellis, pattern couching, Sprat's Head, Japanese filling variations, composite mosaic pattern, couched silk grounds, composite tied satin filing, and web stitch grounding
Jane discovered the design concept in the set decoration of her favorite opera, Otello, this production performed at La Scala in Milian in 2001 with Placido Domingo in his most celebrated role. The colorway to the right was the basic color scheme of this production. It makes a smashing piece of needlework.
OPTION #1:
For shipping to a US address only, Jane will be offering a complete kit as one option - this will include not only the instruction booklet with color image but all supplies required to complete the project in three colorways for the primary silk family plus "gold high lustre" metallics. The Needlepoint Inc. silk choices are palamino gold and "mouse brown"/dapple gray plus (1) Wine or (2) Iris Blue or (3) Paprika.
Class Cost: $185 (Priority Mail to US address only.) Note: Some of the stitch variations in this project require the use of more thread than required for any of my other geometric designs
OPTION #2:
You may order the chartpak only, which will include a supply list. To insure the thread weights are correct you are asked to use either Needlepoint Inc silk or cotton floss.
