CASHMIR - Study of Fun With Filling Patterns II is the new selection for the Joyce Lukomski workshop scheduled for February 2005.

The rich tapestry of the East comes alive with the depth of colored silks and the opulence of golden threads in this exciting study. Students of this workshop will not only increase their needlework expertise and stitch vocabulary, but also have  a fun time exploring the many possibilities of filling stitches. A contemporary geometric design in a pleasing hexagon shape will be the vehicle to display wonderful patterns and filling stitches from both European and Oriental origins.  Japanese filling patterns, laid fillings, squared fillings, and scattered fillings will work together to enhance the grid of the canvas. The subtle sheen of silk combined with floss overdye and the glimmer of metal will work together in countless combinations of color, line and texture. Each student will be encouraged to create a favorite filling pattern based on techniques tried in the class. The project was designed to fit into the lid of a 7 1/2" square box top, but can also be framed.

Kit Includes:
24-count ivory congress cloth size 12" x 12"; Au Ver a Soie silks and cotton flosses in an assortment of colors, several different stitchable and non-stitchable metallics, an
assortment of needles, colored photograph and complete instruction booklet.
