Description:
Fanciful Floral is a mixed media design that was developed for Kreinik Manufacturing, Inc. for a class at the TNNA Show in New York City in 1988. It is a mixed media design that combines some blackwork with two couching patterns and one composite pattern to form a delicate flower. The design was conceived as a vehicle to teach the proper handling of silk threads and to show methods to incorporate several types of metallics into a mixed media design.
