CASK26: Blue Oriental Lantern |
 |
This
elegant lantern was adapted from a silhouette in a book of Chinese paper
cuts. A variety of techniques are used to embellish the lantern including
blackwork, pulled thread, laidwork, and or nué. The background area
is executed in a beaded open pattern of diamond outlines and the mat itself
has an intricate blackwork pattern with gold accents. The pair of regal
birds and the floral accents in the fretwork add a naturalistic touch to
the design.
The lantern and mat outlines are counted to insure perfect symmetry, and a poked hole pattern will be executed as prework to establish these contours. Color Choice: The same blues, greens and golds will be used in both color choices, but students may choose either peach-russet, pink-rose, red or lavender-purple accents. |
