Have you ever wished your crafts had a touch more drama, an aura of elegant sophistication, or a detailed frame worthy of the art inside? This workshop offers the perfect solution–a miniature work of art displayed inside a Baroque-style frame that was custom made for Makeshift using 3-D printing. These decorative frames transform your finished stitching into something that looks like it belongs hanging in the halls of a mysterious manor, wizard's study, or cozy gothic reading nook.
The frame will be available in a selection of rich colors to go with custom Makeshift cross stitch patterns designed for the distinct shape of the frame. You can choose a pattern that matches your style, whether that be a majestic dragon soaring through a star-filled night sky or a floral bouquet suitable for Catherine Earnshaw’s melancholy wedding on the Yorkshire Moors. 🥀
Because these designs make intentional use of the frame's unique silhouette, participants should already be comfortable with the basics of cross stitch. This workshop encourages you to think beyond the stitches themselves and learn how negative space can become part of the overall artwork. We will also explore more advanced finishing techniques that are useful when stitching on alternative materials.
