Description: 

Have you seen beautiful rugs hooked in a monochromatic color scheme and wished you could create one? Or perhaps you’ve given monochromatics a try and just weren’t satisfied with the results. Well, this workshop will show you how and give you the tools you need.

Donna will teach you how to hook a monochromatic project starting with a photo, that she has specially selected, and then hand-drawn and shaded a pattern for you. She will show you how to use that photo as a guide for your color value choices, a great tool for future monochromatic style projects. The beautiful wool for this project will be hand-dyed by Donna – in a range of values in a single color. Students will be hooking in cuts # 3 – 5.

You will learn how to determine when and how to use each color value to create the Owl’s face and feathers, both key elements, both challenging aspects in which to establish details, using just value. Don’t be afraid! You Can do it!

Donna has mastered monochromatic fiber art, with a long list of award-winning work, especially in that specific topic. She will share her knowledge, tips and tricks to help you build your confidence, skills and give you a rock-solid monochromatic foundation.

Once finished, your 9” x 12” Owl design would make a great pillow. And… WHO…. doesn’t love an Owl!
