About the Design

Feller Tiny Wings

In a brief interlude from our Gawthorpe inspired designs, this latest design by Kate Barlow is inspired by the Feller Mirror, a 17th century embroidered mirror frame from the renowned Michael & Elizabeth Feller Collection. The original frame is currently the subject of an advanced year-long course in silk shading with Kate and this design was created to showcase some of the smaller motifs on the design.

Two butterflies and a third winged friend flutter around a small flower in this charming arrangement with clever use of silk and gold highlights, and subtle placement of spangles. This sweet design is the perfect introduction to the Feller Mirror collection - bringing together the elegance and simplicity of the original, in a fun and approachable 2-day class.

Kate will guide you through all the techniques needed to create your very own piece of the Feller Mirror Collection.
