Follow the Light
"Follow the light is an all-day 6-hour class suitable for intermediate and advanced bead embroiderers. In its center there is a handmade focal that Kinga has painted herself, based on her favorite Caspar David Friedrich paintings. In class you will have a chance to pick your own focal. They are not the same and while the colors are all in the same family to work with the bracelet, the themes vary. This bracelet can be adapted to all size wrists. Besides the written instructions you will receive with your kit, you will also have unlimited access to a video course that helps with all the little details that don't fit into the shorter printed instructions. It's nice to see a project from beginning to end: by creating the focals based on artwork she adores, Kinga had plenty of time to consider what colors and shapes she wanted to incorporate into this composition. The result is a well-rounded, harmonious piece of wearable art."
SKILL LEVEL:
This workshop is designed for beaders who have some familiarity with bead embroidery. It assumes a reasonable foundation of bead techniques and some experience with intricate designs.
KITS:
Kits are $135.00
There is only ONE colorway available for this workshop, but you will be able to select which cabochon to use in your project. Each cab is beautifully and delicately painted by Kinga between layers of resin to give depth and feeling to her work. Truly wearable art for your wrist!
Note: Kits do not include needles or thread. Kinga recommends size 11 Tulip needles and her new favorite thread "Forward" in 8lb test, color "Low Vis Green." But she has advised that any other needles and thread are good if you have your own preferences for bead embroidery.
