This detailed silk clematis video course helps you master realistic looking as well as fantasy clematis flowers for numerous applications. 
One of the most popular garden plants, clematis produce masses of flowers in a variety of shapes and colours. They make a such an attractive and versatile display either in the garden or in an arrangement that it would be very unwise of us to leave this most graceful climbing plant of the northern world out of the silk flower design.
The rich diversity of clematis flower shapes can be a source of serious inspiration for an artist in any media. Flower shapes can resemble bells, lanterns, tulips, stars, saucers, or even little elf hats.
This video course will demonstrate and explain how to create a typical clematis flower shape: a large single flower with 8 petals. You will learn how to dye your clematis parts in a realistic manner inspired by real clematis flowers.
As a vine silk clematis lends itself well to being turned into a headband as one of possible options. Hair combs, hair circlets, bracelets, corsages, chokers, sash embellishments as well as other accessories – you name it – can be easily made with this gorgeous silk bloom.
Moreover you can make your geometric clematis flowers using metallic and other fabrics to achieve fantasy looking flowers (think golden or black blooms). You can play with the size and number of the petals. We are restricted neither in colour nor in size here.
With this video course you receive access to 160+ minutes of video instructions from the practising flower artist. Watch the video through the
artist’s eyes, follow the instructions and create, create, create!
