Underwater
Ballet is a mixed media canvas design that incorporates a variety
of techniques that include unconventional blackwork, couching,
bias bargello, and open canvas patterning. Converging courses
are suggested by the dramatic stripes behind the "synchronized
swimmers" as they pause in perfect unison to investigate
a mysterious underwater object. Six different metallics are
combined with beads and shiny cotton threads (or silks, if preferred)
to create a dazzling underwater scene. A simple Tent outline
in silver metallic is used to establish the contours of the
symmetrical design. Threads for two color combinations are included
in the materials list below, but with the wide array of threads
available today that fit 18-mesh canvas, any number of imaginative
combinations are feasible. Finished Design Size: 10" square. |
