We will prepare a simple design as a guide for informing colour, shape and texture using cut paper shapes with added marks applied with water soluble crayons and felt pens. The design will reflect an imaginary but familiar walk or place, with emphasis on line and shape. The design will be developed into a small stitched textile.  Techniques will include applique and couching, combined with a variety of stitches and padded methods which together will result in a joyful interpretation of Hundertwasser’s paintings.
