Dorie's three dimensional needlepoint workshop part one Dorie's workshop was very inspiring - the workshop started with the history of lace and about her own practice. She taught herself how to do the lace making - what's interesting about what she was teaching us was to create three dimensional forms from this technique - in the image that red cross is going to be a little cube - I will show you part 2 after Sunday. We will be working on our own designs with Dorie's help. I am planning to do a pod shape with finer thread and a wee bit smaller. Dorie's work is also in the vitrine cases at Harbourfront - she made a needle point trompe l'oeil bow - the photo I took doesn't do it justice - if you have a chance check out the show - along with other great work at the York Quay Gallery.
