MY FLORAL CLASS WAS A HIT!

MY FLORABUNA CLASS WAS A LOT OF FUN TO TEACH. WE SELECTED FABRIC THAT DID THE BEGINNING WORK FOR YOU. ALL THE FABRIC HAD FLOWERS AND LEAVES ALREADY PRINTED. WE CUT THEM APART AND REARRANGED TO MAKE OUR OWN BOUQUET.  THIS WALL HANGING IS A STUDENT PIECE. SHE DID A WONDERFUL ART PIECE DONT YOU THINK?

THIS WAS THE MY CLASS EXAMPLE.

 STUDENTS USING A DESIGN WALL TO ARRANGE THEIR PIECE. ITS MUCH EASIER TO MAKE YOUR BOUQUET ON THE WALL THAN LAYING FLAT ON A TABLE. 
IRON SOMETHING LIKE WONDER-UNDER ON ALL YOUR FLOWERS AND LEAVES BEFORE CUTTING THEM OUT. PIN THE ARRANGEMENT ON YOUR BACK GROUND PIECE. WHEN YOU LIKE THE ARRANGEMENT, IRON IT DOWN.

AFTER YOU HAVE IRONED IT ALL DOWN, START YOUR FREE MOTION PAINTING. THIS IS WHAT WILL GIVE YOUR PIECE ITS PERSONALITY AND SPARKLE.

 ALL THE DESIGNS ARE DIFFERENT AND ALL ARE BEAUTIFUL.

THIS ONE HAS HEAVY THREAD COUCHED DOWN ON THE BACKGROUND FABRIC. LOADS OF RAYON THREADS WERE USE TO MAKE THE SPARKLE LOOK.

THE CLASS WAS ONLY 3 HOURS. ALL THE STUDENTS GOT THEIR BOUQUETS MADE AND HAD A GOOD START ON THE FREEMOTION WORK.
