I give private art lessons to students of all ages. My goal is to help others tap into the creative spirit which God has given to us all. When we "Create" we "Inspire" others.
CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS
I had some old wool blankets, wool plaid shirts and felt that they used to make their stockings. They drew their design first on paper, acutal size, and colored them. I used their drawings for patterns to cut their designs in felt. They used the whip stitch to sew the stockings and do some applique. I just love their stitching!
OLD SWEATER TABOGENS...My heart melts when I see every stitch on these hats...each a work of ART!!!
I bought old 100 percent wool sweaters at Goodwill. I washed them in hot water and dryed them..."felting". I cut triangle panels. The kids picked 6 wool panels for their hats. They used the simple whip stitch to make their tabogens. Added buttons and appliqued flowers, hearts and stars to their finished hat. I love their hats!!!
