Cleta Raymond's beautiful piece! |
Back in May, I was at Bedecked and Beadazzled to teach a color class. This particular class really lit things up, just like you see in comic strips when a character gets a light bulb over his/her head! I love watching students get excited about color, and about their ability to put together color-stories. This class is a sure recipe for lots of "light bulbs".
One such light bulb is Cleta Raymond's. This is her completed piece that was inspired by a color story I handed out to the students, a photo of a room from a design magazine. The task was to interpret the photo into threads and then go a step further and apply the threads to a design. I am so proud of her, this piece is gorgeous. Her color choices and the placement of the colors is so smart! She also has the most gorgeously stitched Jessicas!
Here is what she wrote: This is a picture of the piece I created from the class you taught a
while ago at Bedecked and Beadazzled. I thought I learned a lot in the
class itself, and I did. What fascinates me is that I continued to learn
as I worked the design and chose the colors for each element. Thank you
so much for being willing to share your art!
Thank you so much, Cleta, for sending me this photo.
Oh, and look out for me to be back at Bedecked and Beadazzled in February! More on that later...
