diana rupp: embroider everything + color theory coaster DIY


There are few things I enjoy more than supporting artists I love. But getting to support artists I love when they’re producing books with a publisher I love might tip the scales. The very talented Diana Rupp released a great new book, Embroider Everything Workshop, this past fall and made a great video demonstrating a project from the book. I love getting to peek inside craft books, especially when the project embraces the sort of color theory/color-blocking look I love so much right now. Thanks to Workman and Diana for sharing this video with us today. I hope you’ll enjoy the project as much as I did — it’s the perfect way to spend a few hours this weekend if the weather keeps you indoors. xo, grace

These coasters made me smile! They remind me of projects we had to do in a color theory class with sheets of pantone paper back in the day. Their embroidered forms are much less threatening than those fluorescent-lit art school critiques.

Hooray. I love Diana. I learned to embroider from her at Make. She’s a super talented lady and also very sweet. Great post.

These coasters are so beautiful! I love Diana and her new book is awesome. I also love the “Pet Portrait” project–my cats faces are totally on my to do list for this winter!

Yahoo! I think these are AWESOME and I will have to MAKE THEM! Diana taught me to sew and put in zippers! She is a great teacher, and I’ve loved all the make workshop classes I’ve taken! I can wait to embroider my way around my wardrobe!

I love these! And I love Diana from MAKE! She teaches the BEST classes and is super fun- I took her home lab and am now whipping up lots of fun creations for my apartment! Way to go Diana!!!

I might need to go finish my little embroidery projects from 3rd grade now just to make them into coasters–brilliant idea!

This book is amazing! One of my all time favorites! Thanks for casting a pretty wide net.
