More Embellishment

Braids and fringes
From my students in their embellishment course
The students have to experiment with different materials to make creative braids and fringes
I think these are great - now how could they use them in their finished works????

Embellishment

In the course I teach is a unit called embellishment in which we cover a great variety of embellishments - beading, cords, tassels, fringes, braids, motifs, stitch and more...
So below are some of the 'bits' that the students have produced - samplers for their folders.

Leaf printing is our first part of the unit on printing that I teach at Marden Senior College in the Certificate course in Textile Arts.
Anyone interested we will be taking enrolments for the course for 2014 in mid October this year. The class fills up very quickly so do not wait until 2014 or you miss out.
Contact me if you wish to have further information.
