DESCRIPTION:
This workshop is for students who have experience with raw appliqué, free-motion sewing, and thread painting and can work independently. Lorraine is a professional animal communicator and students will begin each day with a brief meditation to allow their heart energy to connect with the animal—this breathes life into the art, as a relationship develops and the animals begin to “speak.” Students will learn how to illustrate a fabric collage using fabric and thread as well as creating custom texture stitching over water soluble stabilizer.
They will also learn step-by-step techniques, such as:
- How to tap into intuition, rather than rules, going with the flow
- How to create custom lace using water soluble stabilizer
- How to choose fabrics that accentuate the anatomy
- Raw-Appliqué using only pins, no fusing or glue
- Thread painting

FEEDBACK: Your work with thread and miscellaneous fibers is beautiful! I can’t wait to play with the various media, some of which I already have, to make eyes and more! I just love your casual, non-fussy approach to media. It so demystifies it!! —Sandy Stewart Cox
