Butterflies of the Reef with Kay Stanis

Butterflies of the Reef with Kay Stanis from the USA

Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th July

The sea is alive with the colours of summer. Butterflies in the water are dancing along the reefs. The warmth of the sun shines in the gold metallics as you shade your fish created in Japanese golds and soft twist silks over padding.  Heat distressed cellophane and beads form the bubbles. 

You will learn to couch in pairs, to and fro, round and round to fill a shape. Making sharp turns with the gold threads will be stressed and you will learn to pad a shape with felt and string. Working with an iron we will distress the cellophane to create bubbles to be appliquéd with beads to our special fabric. 

The special salt dyed silk charmeuse measures aprox. 9" x 8"  and the Linen backing fabric approx 10" X 10" .

Options in design: Placement and number of fish and bubbles are at the discretion of the student.
