Gave a Thread Painting Workshop
 

My friends and I gathered at Creative Sisters in Kitchener last Friday and we did some Thread Painted Birds. After guiding them through some of the pitfalls with a simple Chickadee, they went on to more challenging species. Here's a sample. I can hardly wait to see the finished products at our next get together.

Wow, that is just amazing!!! (well, I think all your stuff is)
So it looks like you start with a printed image like a greeting card?

Yes. I find this is a really "cheap and dirty" way to do something a little different.

MK- always great to see what your creative mind is up to - fabulous, as usual. Gotta love these birds ;)

beautiful, simply amazing work, so real looking too.

Amazing! I would love to learn to do this!!!!!

How cool! Thanks for the inside peak of the process. I had no idea they were only done on stabilizer and actually colored in before stitching.

Thank you for sharing this excellent work.

Beautiful birds. I had seen this technique before but it must be fun to do with friends. Have FUN! :)

Very pretty work. I've not heard of this before and I love your creativity!

How wonderful your work is. Scaredy pants here. The precision you employ is amazing. Thank you.

Beautiful! I have never done thread painting and I would love to try it.

Great job on the workshop, teacher. I want to learn how to do that someday.

I am always amazed at what some people are capable of!! I'm not a "thinker"...I see something and I "do" it, but I can't visualize it to begin with. You always show awesome creations!

Great job -love what you have done. Wished I lived in the area so I could join the group.

Wow!! Very nice.

WOW, what an amazing talent.

Beautiful thread work!!!

So beautiful! I've done some cacti and shrubs, but your birds are "over the top"! I'd love to be in your class!

I watched a demonstration at a craft show and would love to know how to go further with it.

They make it look so easy but I somehow think not.

Beautiful. BrendaK

I love that, I wish I lived closer to a shop to learn neat techniques like that. that is amazing!

great work! any chance you would do a tutorial for us?????

Beautiful work!!!

beautiful birds!

Not much chance. You are talking to the world's biggest Luddite. I depend on my IT husband and son's to keep me on line....let alone make a video for a tute! LOL ;)

I've always wanted to learn how to do this. It's such a neat look and allows you to be even more creative. They all look wonderful! It's cool to see the process too.
