October Workshops at Red Rock Canyon

September is awesome. This Fall I’m an Artist-in-Residence, along with two other amazing artists, at the Red Rock Canyon Interpretative Association. The residency dates run from October 1st through the 14th, with embroidery workshops on October 4th and October 11. My classes will focus on stitching the impressive Red Rock Canyon landscape. Call the number on the flier to sign up. Hope to see you soon!

Rocks in Round

Rain clouds stopped by last week allowing us to trek midday with the pups to Red Rock Canyon. It’s a stunning landscape with much for the eye to catch, making me itch for extra time out there to hike, think and imagine.

I sat down immediately when home and started stitching this idea. The coloring stitches aren’t finished yet, but the piece is pleasing to the eye already.

Back stitch and straight stitch are being employed here. The thread is DMC.

The photography professor I studied with encouraged shooting around 7 AM & PM for interesting lighting. Today I caught shadows.
