Inspiration: Sylvia Windhurst

March 17, 2013 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

 Sylvia Windhurst of WindyRiver says,

Inspired by a Japanese woodcut print of a moonlit night over water, I decided to embroider a landscape to grace the cover of an ash wood jewelry box. I liked the simple shapes and colors of the print and distilled them down to even more basic forms and then started embroidering! I did a simple painted outline on dark ultrasuede to give me guidance when beading.

While her post is not a tutorial, she shares enough information about her process to make experimenting a possibility. Go to her post for more details and photos.
