Flower Loom
with instructor Steve Butler
Class 150
What is it? – A famous Clergyman once wrote, “Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.” Really? I’m not so sure. Can you imagine any of Monet’s major works of art without flowers? He couldn’t. And how about poetry? Spend some time perusing floral themed verse and you’ll see that poetry and flowers can truly be viewed as nothing less than a beautiful garden inside the author’s words. But what does that mean to us? How do we feel about flowers? They’re important to our creative instincts too. When it comes to fiber arts, looking for some floral inspiration for our creative endeavors seems only natural. Flowers are part of our lives and we love them. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could not only make them, but make them just the way we’ve individually imagined them? Clover’s Flower Loom is just what is needed to put all those gorgeous petals in place. With it our creative potential is limited only by our imagination. It’s just plain inspiring to watch our creative vision be realized with a beautiful flower that we’ve just designed. With Clover’s Flower Loom we can expertly apply all the yarns, ribbons, fabric strips, raffia, cording or decorative threads that we select to bring our flowers to life and create our own personal floral fantasy.
What does it do? – Clover’s Flower Loom is the “go to” tool for creating flowers for virtually any floral accents we might desire. Quilts, hats, belts, coats, shoes, table runners, pillows, wall hangings, purses and bags can all be the creative beneficiaries of our own one-of-a-kind floral themes. Clover’s Flower loom is actually a set of tools that can be used to produce the flowers of your dreams.
· The set comes with a base that supports the looms that you have chosen to use for each particular flower.
· A variety of loom shapes and sizes are provided and can be used either separately or in unison as desired. The shapes included are a hexagonal loom, small and large square looms and small, medium and large circular looms.
· A center post is even provided for your partial petal inspirations. Accessing all of the different looms and possible loom combinations in conjunction with a seemingly unlimited selection of fibers, textures and colors creates a virtually endless array of potential floral creations. Let your imagination run free. Clover’s Flower Loom can take you there.
How do I share it – Clover’s Flower Loom is the ultimate companion to your most innovative creative floral endeavors. To show its true potential, set the individual looms out on display with various flower designs in progress. Samples of completed flowers as accessories to fashion, home decor and other decorative applications will be all the inspiration you need. A Flower Loom class is always a good idea and it’s a great way to use those spare bits of yarn, ribbon, raffia and fabric we seem to collect. And if you have any questions on the creative application of flowers to your creative work, just ask Monet.
