Filed under: Embroidery Guild of America, Going Places: Hands-On Design and Color Class with Laura Smith, Seminar 2026-Orlando
Today I did add the chimney, stitched some pieces in place, and painted cheesecloth for clouds which I unconventionally placed under the light weight Lutradur because it just looks messy on top (not how Laura would do it but she said she understands my issue – very kind woman).
My big leaves for in front of the house will come from the top painted (by Laura and in her Class Chest) but not heated piece of Tyvek. That’s why the yellow building is incomplete. The bottom painted Lutradur is a contribution from my classmate and may be used too (although Laura thinks it’s too dark).
I also played with Tyvek and an embossing mini heat gun. I could have tried 100 more times and never gotten the little heart (which could be cut out, painted, and used on something). Can you find it?
This is certainly a challenging process. Laura is a very good teacher and encouraging. Learning and using about Lutradur and fluid medium were the top take aways for me.
No more classes for awhile because I’ve got enough to work on for a long time!
