"Say It With Flowers" with Marnie Ritter
A
Foley/Cornelius Teacher
Real fresh flowers are the beginning of this enhanced canvas.
We "pound them" onto the glitter canvas to create a bouquet over which the
stitched flowers will float. The fascination with the different impressions
is unending in both color and shape. It seems magic!
The flowers are crested with embroidered French ribbon manipulation,
fishbone stitched overdyed ribbon flowers, beaded flower shapes, satin stitch,
bullion, French knots and appliquéd lace.
The basket is created with an offset herringbone counted canvas
pattern and basketweave. Silks, overdyed ribbon, beads, rayons and
metallics are the chosen threads.
