Light, delicate, and full of summer magic, this enchanting embroidered dragonfly combines translucent painted wings with richly textured stitching to create a beautifully dimensional little creature that seems ready to hover gently above the garden flowers. During this single-session class, we will create wired organza wings painted in two softly blended shades before assembling them around a wonderfully tactile dragonfly body worked using puffy couching techniques for added texture and sculptural form.
Like the other projects in this Summer Garden series, this class is designed as a creative “stash-buster.” No kit is required; instead, students will receive full instructions together with a suggested materials list, encouraging you to experiment with your own fabrics, threads, paints, and embellishments to create a dragonfly entirely unique to you. Perfect for confident stitchers who enjoy raised embroidery, mixed media techniques, texture, colour, and expressive hand stitching inspired by the beauty of the summer garden.
