Thread Painting
Little Yellow Bird thread painting, from a photo by Lorra Rudman, with her permission.
Thread Painting is a technique where the artist prints a photograph onto a piece of fabric, and stitches by machine using free motion (feed dogs dropped, and a darning foot on the machine) over the image so that the image is—usually—completely covered in thread.
Students will have the option of using a pre-printed image provided by Sandra ($5.00 each), or they can use their own image.
