Join me in a Five Week Online Class on AforArtistic starting on May 9, 2017


Join me in a Five week online class and learn how to create your very own Flower Faerie.  Even though the Flower Faeries have been all created using the same pattern and techniques, they each tend to develop their own little personalities.  The Flower Faeries are 13” tall from the top of their headdress to the tips of their beaded fringe.

In this workshop a variety of cloth doll making and beading techniques will presented.  You will learn how to needle-sculpt a cloth head utilizing a template that insures the perfect placement of facial features every time.  Techniques to create graceful hands will also be included in the class.  You will learn how to create a swivel head.  Instruction on how to utilize watercolors to create a base flesh tone and how to utilize watercolor pencils to add facial coloring will also be included in the class.  Costuming a Faerie with fabric flowers and leaves will also be presented.  In addition, needle felting techniques on how to create a Faerie hairstyle will be taught.  Included in this class are detailed instructions on how to create earrings and how to create a beaded fringe trim.  All of these techniques will be presented while you are in the process of creating a beautiful heirloom Flower Faerie.
