In this class we will learn beading techniques
to bring extra interest and sparkle to our wardrobe. From flat applications we will progress to breaking-the-surface techniques
and beaded fringes. You will make a sampler on cloth over an embroidery hoop which can be used as a reference point for further
experimentation.

A Day with Sandy Scrivano
January 19, 2008
Our group met at 10 am in Petaluma. The rest of the
day was spent admiring Sandy’s collection of beautiful clothes and listening
intently so we could emulate some of her methods.
We learned about various types, weights, and densities of paints
– which type to use on a specific fabric.
She had many beautiful scraps of fabrics/leathers to use for practice.
We learned to use brayers (I always wondered how color variations
were done.) stencils, and brushes of all shapes.
We also did some free-hand painting and embossing. It was always
amazing to see the possibilities by wandering around and seeing what the other group members were doing.
Thanks, Darlene!
It was a great day and a great
motivator.
A Workshop with Diane Ericson
January 20, 2007
When Diane Ericson presented her workshop on January 20th, the room was alive with excitement. She helped us to open
our eyes to design possibilities as she presented tools and techniques. Reaching into her vast trunk of garments, she showed
beautiful, fanciful, and creative examples of the methods she outlined. After the input we were set loose to work toward products
of our own.
Diane challenged us to trade around small fabric samples we brought to find new, unusual or even "dangerous" color
combinations to expand our minds out of safety zones.
Throughout all, she commented and encouraged. One day was not enough. Sice the workshop, two of our daytimes groups have
had follow-up meetings on the topics, and many of the attendees already have projects based on her inspirations started or
planned.
