I signed up for Fiona Duthie’s online suface design workshop a few weeks and it started last week and I have to say I am loving it! Although many of the techniques we have covered so far are already familiar to me, Fiona has some quirky suggestions for how to use the techniques that I am finding very refreshing and stimulating. It looks like we will be covering 2 or 3 techniques each week and coming to the end of week 2 I am loving combining the different techniques in new ways.
While I don’t feel it would be fair to Fiona to share the actual techniques here I think it is ok to show some of the results….
I plan to add some stitching to this piece to highlight the setting sun on the left and make the foreground look more like a beach.
I still need to do quite a lot of needle-felting details onto the turtle’s head and legs and I will add more texture to the “rock” with some stitching but am pleased with how this piece is coming along.
Wonderful pieces Teri! I especially like the turtle. Really cool 🙂

You may remember that Marilyn and I took this class in the Spring and truly enjoyed the experience. One thing for sure is every student's work turns out differently, and that’s a good thing! It will be fun to view your work in the coming weeks. LuvsWool

Looking forward to seeing the turtle finished. I love the colours in the first three photos!

Hi Cathy, yes, reading yours (and other's) reviews just made me want to take this course all the more. As you say, I am learning as much from the interactions with the other students as I am from the actual course itself. As you can see it is already inspiring me to try new things 🙂
