Wild and Fused!
​
In this 5-day workshop, you'll expand your skills and create a one-of-a-kind textile collage using raw edge appliqué and variety of specialty techniques. You'll bring a photo of an animal, your beloved pet, a flower from your garden or favorite vacation memory and we'll transform it into an original piece of textile art. You'll learn how to design a pattern and create realistic eyes using silk. We'll have plenty of time to explore different collage styles and learn how to develop your own signature style.

Supplies:
16 X 20 Enlarged Original Photo with a smaller black & white photo for reference. **Photos must be sent to me for approval 30 days prior to class.
Fabric: A variety of fabrics ranging in value from light to dark that coordinate with your photo. Nothing larger than ¼ yard. I like to use lots of patterns, plaids, and polka dots. Scraps work great.
Lightbox: It is necessary that you have a lightbox!!!
​
Misc: Small Sharp Embroidery Scissors and Scissors for cutting paper. Travel Iron & Ironing Pad with Extension Cord.
If you tend to work fast, you’ll need your sewing machine and assorted threads that match the fabrics you’re using. You must be able to drop your feed dogs to FMQ. Quilters Gloves.
Background Fabric: You’ll either piece the background and need a variety of fabrics in the colors you’re choosing to use + a piece of cheap muslin 20 x 24.
OR... The other option is to take your completed focus image and place it on a piece of whole cloth. In that case, you will need a 20 x 24 piece of background fabric.
