Wrist Quilts
Keely Barham
Working with just scraps of fabric and a small amount of embellishments plus a new material called "Softsculpt" create arty little quilted bracelets that hold their shape after heating. Lots of different hand and machine quilting techniques will be covered, as well as bead embellishment, fabric collage, and using found objects to make a unique piece of soft sculpted jewelry. Most students will finish in class and possibly start on a second piece.
I am a mixed media artist and workshop teacher. I work mainly in textiles, fibers and beads. I currently teach workshops locally and across the country at art retreats, conventions and stores. My work has been published in Belle Armoire, Somerset Studio and the books "The Art Doll Chronicles" and "True Colors." fabfrogdesigns@aol.com
