At the request of a nearby weaving guild I developed a class about using favorite artwork and photos as inspiration for weaving designs. This was based on the show that I had at the Artery a few years ago and that was the subject of a Handwoven article. This is the publicity photo we used for the show. Our model is wearing my Red Canna (Georgia O’Keefe) chenille shawl and Julia’s felt hat.
Participants in the class brought favorite photos or artwork to use as a basis for designing weaving projects and used……colored pencils and…
rayon chenille for their designs. Here are some of the plans:
Won’t it be fun to see these projects when they are finished?
I follow your blog by email and always enjoy your stories and pictures.
This mornings blog brought a huge smile with your portrayed art weaving project. The Red Canna (Georgia O’Keefe) chenille shawl and Julia’s felt hat is so delightful, eye candy! I love your work. Who doesn’t love GOK’S work?
Thanks for your comment. A friend gave me the book of GOK’s flower paintings. I could find inspiration in there for years.
