Project 2: Garlands




Tonight’s gathering revolved around pretty little circles of colour run together with thread. Old books and music scores were sacrificed along with paper, felt and gauze. The jackpot was a strange art book discovered a second hand store – page after page of glorious patterns! Working as a team and drawing inspiration from a tutorial on Curbly, we created 8 different 2.5m garlands in the space of three hours.

Here is Kate’s fantastic Random Selection garland (below left), Amanda's good old Christmas Flair garland (below right) and Jess' ethereal Shades of Grey garland (also below right).



This is Kate constructing her vibrant Colour Frenzy garland (below).


And finally, a group effort on Amanda's Symphony in Blue (below).



The strings of garlands were the start of a garland bonanza, that led to a garland rainbow-esque mobile, that flutters beautifully in a kitchen breezeway. Amanda.
