down to see large picture
Three ears of colored corn are depicted with Delica glass beads. The
placement of the colored beads gives each ear the appearance of depth and
dimension. Learn the easy way to do realistic shading as you stitch
ribbons which seem to turn and curve. Three acorns nestle in the folds of
the ribbon. This glorious tribute to the abundance of autumn harvest is
completed with couched bullion and twisted cord. Exciting, yet simple,
shading methods are the focus of this class.
Techniques covered while stitching Gathered In include:
realistic shading the easy way with stranded silk (the simple to
use silk), directional shading, textural shading, pointillistic
shading, attaching beads in an uncommon method, bullion couching, and
couching twisted cord including a newly devised method for creating a
continuous line.
