Over the holidays, I went on a creative frenzy searching for Brazilian Embroidery tutorials, which led to not so popular embroidery stitches and crazy quilting, which then led to midievel embroidery techniques, finally getting me to a one stop group called StitchMAP. This is a group of Mentors, Angels and Apprentices who teach, learn and pay forward the arts of all things stitching, fibers, floss and creativity. After anxiously waiting for a month, the pre-requisite class to all classes, Color Theory Course has begun! As a fine arts major in college, I had taken this class and was less than enthused about taking this class...again. But as I went through and did the first exercise, my perspective in how I saw my stash of embroidery and tatting/crochet threads in a whole new light. I realized how much color I had and the treasure of supplies that sat, collecting dust until such a time as this. This time in my life to rekindle the creative hunger of color, creativity, and joy in making something out of what others consider nothing! If you are looking for a very active, lively group that is all about teaching, learning, sharing and paying forward the blessings of creativity and life in general, then come on and join us! I have posted a purple Yahoo Groups button to the left. We have members from all over the world and every class, challenge and topic posts are all teaching and learning tools, from each other. This is not a place where egos and self promotion are priority, but of honest and real sharing and encouragment. The foundation and meat of true friendships with a common passion for the arts in fiber, thread and unlimited possibilities! I will end this post with a picture collage of my first exercise as a teaser. I will not post anymore on the classes, as these are proprietary, even though EVERY class and aspect is free of charge. Enjoy and if you have the passion, then join us!
