| MY WAY |
Intermediate to Advanced |
The focus of this course is to offer students an opportunity to alter the appearance of an original design. Suggested options are provided in many sections. These choices can be different stitches, colours, opposite colour value directions and fibres. The model features a neutral border with two distinct colour harmonies A (green) and B (mulberry). For the third family C , I expanded the number of values included in the colour range of the neutral border. Wonderful results can be achieved through numerous colour combinations. You are encouraged to use your creativity and individuality in your selections. Record the colours in the space provided. At the back there is an alternative square “G”. You can place the squares in a different order than they have been presented.
