Under a Copper Moon
Toni Gerdes
33004 Wednesday-Friday, August 30-September 1, 2017
This design creates a band sampler based on the varying
colors of the landscape in the mountains during a lunar eclipse, or "copper moon." Starting with the fabric
mountain appliqué, then using the hot foil technique
to create the first layer of the copper moon where real
metallic copper foil is applied to the canvas, and finishing with the woven cross stitch border. You will learn
many stitches to form bands of color in the night sky.
Overstitching on the copper metallic lends an eerie feel
to the copper moon.
