Getting Creative with Paint, Fabric and Canvas

In May the members of Lytham St Annes Embroiderers Guild had lovely time getting a bit messy combining paint, fabric and paper  during the Day School led by Artist Priscilla Edwards.

Here are some of the works in progress at the end of the day. 
Enjoy!

Really love the fresh blues on this Coffee Pot above, with the lilac in the upper left background, giving a hint of fresh flowers such as Hyacinth or Hydrangeas. Did you spot the little beach huts on the fabric bottom right? and the lace in the upper foreground gives a touch of texture.
Painted lace adds texture to the sky and grass on this lovely Paper Flowers piece, below.

This Fish is all stitched and waiting for a trim and maybe some seaweed or coral to add to the wonderful painted blues and greens of the sea in the background.

More fresh blues, below, but this time in fabric to give a background to this inviting House Collage, below.  Plaid for the roof is a nice touch and more blue for the windows pulls it all together. The topiary trees by the door give it a welcoming touch.

These Two Love Birds are an interesting coral colour and are set off well by the teal green paint that co-ordinates the background fabrics and lace. Pretty stitched flowers give it a sweet touch.

Purple is a great colour for a beach hut and goes well with the painted blue of the sky and Ric Rac sea.
Notice the net in the bottom right corner - folded and free machine stitched it makes wonderful seaweed.

That is all for this post - more in the one to follow with a couple of Finishes. 
Many thanks to all who allowed their work to be photographed for our Blog and to Priscilla for teaching us her methods and inspiring everyone on the day.
