A fun workshop
I spent 8 wonderful days in workshops with the incredible free motion embroidery teacher Ken Smith. Some of the comments people make about this talented teacher/artist are wonderful.
"he has magic hands" "He can make embroidery look like creating the natural world all over again". His sense of humour and fun are a delight. I know I sound like an addict, and I guess I am. If you get the chance... crawl, walk, swim, fly and attend one or more of his workshops. I have never enjoyed a teacher, or an activity more. The pieces pictured here are my interpretation of a piece of bark, using Ken's methods and techniques. But with all his workshops the emphasis is on enjoying the process.
After 4 wonderful days my piece of bark looks more realistic. Magnify to see the intensive work that has been done! Now for the decorations!

That's really amazing, Maria. I looked at it up close, and it's great! I can hardly wait to see the rest of the piece.
You're right, Maria, it does look like a piece of bark. Can't wait to see what you add to it. You must have had fun with this class. Geez, you always get to fun classes!!!
I'm curious Mariah
Was the work done with Chisimi thread at all??
