Inspired by Susan’s inspiration

October 8, 2008 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

Photo by Susan ElliottI stumbled across a post by Susan Elliott on her Plays with Needles blog that made me long for the chance to attend a bead-embroidery workshop. Susan tells of attending a workshop led by bead-embroidery maven Robin Atkins and how that experienced has changed how Susan thinks of and works with this medium. She includes an example of an especially meaningful exercise that you can try and photos of some of the amazing work students produced during this brief encounter. Thank you so much for sharing, Susan! See the article.
