Driftwood Treasures - Bead Embroidery with Nichole Vogelsinger

Bring the beauty of the shoreline into your next creative project with Nichole Vogelsinger of Wild Boho in this exclusive John Bead mixed media tutorial. Using driftwood, embroidery, and Czech glass seed beads, Nichole shows you how to transform natural treasures into a one of a kind piece inspired by the ever changing beauty of tide pools. Rather than following a strict pattern, you'll learn how to let the shape and texture of your found materials guide your design, creating artwork that is completely your own. In this class you'll learn: • How to prepare and work on driftwood without a hoop • Techniques for combining embroidery with beadwork • Ways to incorporate Czech glass seed beads into organic designs • Tips for balancing texture, color, and natural materials • How to embrace a freeform creative approach inspired by nature Whether you collect treasures from the beach or simply love combining embroidery with beadwork, this project will inspire you to see natural materials in a whole new way. Materials featured include John Bead Czech glass seed beads, embroidery supplies, and found natural elements.
