Orchid Blast

I have always enjoyed Bargello – the colour schemes, the interesting shapes and the creativity of position. When I finished “Orchid Blast” it looked like an artistic interpretation of a flower being looked at from an aerial view. Students will learn how to manipulate the design to form a freeform type Bargello pattern which adds movement to this design. An additional off-centre plaited ray motif surrounded by the “shells” from the outside border adds interest to this piece. We use #3 Perle Cotton in this project as it is thicker and the coverage is better. The piece is further brought to life by the addition of Metallic Ribbon.

This piece is stitched on 18 count Black mono canvas. Skill Level: Intermediate Advanced.
