‘Putting On The Glitz’ – With Mary Mcintosh

£65

Create a sumpteous leaf/water/bark wall panel with all the bling ready to FME and/or handstitch at home.

Description

Working on a base of black cotton velvet we will build up layers to create a sumptuous panel ready for you to stitch at home. You may use one of my designs for inspiration or adapt the technique to your own preferred shapes or design. You may work in your own choice of colourways. Layer one is using metallic fabric paints including gorgeous Lumiere paints. Layer two is using bonded sheer organzas to add further sheen and filters of colour. Layer three is with transfoils to add a metallic gleam and I will show how to integrate and blend these into your design. The fourth layer is using glitter film for a final ‘pop’ of glitz. The end result will be a panel with depth and complexity ready for you to add stitch. We will discuss various stitch treatments at the end of the day.

Would be suitable for simple quilting, machine embroidery or hand stitching so suitable for all levels of experience.
