Day School with Susan Ruark - Silk Painted Embroidery Pictures

Susan is one of our newer members, and gave this day school based on her beautiful silk painted embroideries. She had brought along many examples of her work, and demonstrated how to paint wet and dry. The ladies then painted their silk in random shapes, allowing the paint to flow and mingle. They then made a sandwich with wadding and backing and hooped it. Everyone elected to hand sew, so spent a relaxing day letting their imagination wander and using various stitches and threads to enhance their colourful creations.
