Colors have a strong influence on our state of mind and both in patchwork and textile art, with this research of matching, shades and contrasts, everyone gets into the energy of colors letting themselves be carried away by sensations, to give birth to a creation that will be exact expression of the inner side.

A WHITE, ROMANTIC CONE
AS CHRISTMAS GIFT
Material
White cloth (also woolen cloth) – Size: 20×20 cm
Tyvek at least 40×40 cm
Avalon plus
Aurifil Brillo thread, color Bordeaux
Aurifil Cotton Makò 12, color 2460
How to do it…
Draw a snow flake on a layer of avalon plus using a watersoluble felt-tip; frame 2 layers of avalon plus (with a 13 cm diameter frame) and work on them with free-motion technique, using Aurifil Brillo color Bourdeaux both top and bottom.
After finishing, put the cloth into water trying to find out the right consistency.
Paint the tyvek with colors suitable for fabrics, always in the bordeaux shades, also using a mould; then let everything dry and iron it with greaseproof paper. The tyvek will get smaller and according to the heat, it will create a lace-like drawing. Apply the tyvek, the angelina fiber and cut threads on the white cloth and isolate with a tulle voile. Then frame and work using free-motion technique again.
When the creation is to your liking, finish it and remove the square from the frame to start the trimmings. Close up the cloth as a cone, hand-sew it using Aurifil Cotton 12, add the lace on the side, the snow flake and lace pieces always with hand stitches.
