Duvessa
|
She is "Pretty" as a peacock in her
Venetian-style mask, complete with a bouquet
of peacock feathers/flowers. We will learn the
intensive technique used to create these life-
like feathers, peacock eye flowers, plus the
jewels and textures adorning her mask. It will
be helpful for students to know the cast-on, up-
down cast-on, satin stitch, and blanket stitch.
Stitches Included: Stitches/techniques taught in class will be my braided fly stitch, auto-Palestrina knot, stem stitch, how to create the expressive eyes and those luscious lashes. Also – let’s play with color! The feathers are made using four different colors of Glory to create the colorplay/iridescence found in real peacock feathers. Students may want to bring a good supply of Glory colors for experimenting in class. For example, if you don’t like the “orange” color in the feathers, substitute a dazzling pink (204), intense blue (201), or bright green (148). Using a different combination of colors for the mask make it similar yet just different enough from the feathers so that it pops! You can make this design become the colors YOU want it to be! A doodle cloth will be provided for each student.
