CRANE

Proficiency Level: Advanced
Kit Price: $85.00
Ground Fabric: 30-count black or white Sha, a Japanese canvase
Size: 9" x 11"
Description: The graceful red crested crane is the symbol of longevity.  Its simplicity is enhanced with the execution of one type of Japanese embroidery technique called "fuzzy effect."  It is a couching technique that students will stitch to achieve dense areas of feathers against the downy smooth ones.  Done on a black silk canvas, students will have the choice of doing on white, with the crane stitched in grey.  Keep in mind that the black canvas has a greater effect.
Required Material:  Magnifier, plus usual stitching tools
