Wind Song Workshop
October 15, 2016 - October 16, 2016
Wind Song is: “A joyful, soulful and whimsically colorful design, illustrated on glittering white 18 count metallic mono canvas, and dressed up with international flare. Finished off with vibrant, extra-long, silk Indian Sari streamers– watch your wind song dramatically dip and swirl with every breeze!Enjoy a mini rainbow of color while stitching the outside circular area –creating a foundation in basket weave ; followed by couching, to accentuate the boldness of the design, as well as attaching multiple strands of hand-dyed Silken Chenille that circle the piece; and, padding wool felt to create dynamic, raised central spokes. Enjoy the exciting technique of attaching an array of fun, sparkling se- quins to those relaxed orange squares that seem to float aimlessly around the center. This is a playful, fun piece that will draw you in. Every canvas will have its own unique personality. Sari Streamers and sequins have been careful- ly selected and coordinated and will vary per kit. If desired, you can even personalize your Wind Song by adding some of your own treasured charms, sequins, beads or tiny family mementos.
