The image shows a bright, playful banner with the words “UNEARTH A STORY™” in large, bold letters — “UNEARTH” in blue and “A STORY” in pink. On the left, a green dinosaur lounges on the grass beside a stack of books, while on the right, a purple pterodactyl perched on a branch reads an open book amid tropical plants and palm trees, creating a fun, prehistoric reading theme.

Unearth Your Talent

Flower Pounding & Embroidery

with Brenda Nickerson

Join local artist, Brenda Nickerson, as she unearths her talent of flower pounding, embroidery and applique. Flower Pounding is a fun art that uses a hammer to smash fresh flowers and leaves onto fabric. Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric using a needle and thread. You may also incorporate other embellishments like beads. The designs are sewn directly onto the material to add texture, color, and visual appeal. Applique is a decorative needlework technique where smaller pieces of fabric are cut and fused onto a larger background fabric to form a picture.

The image shows a framed piece of textile art featuring a dark blue appliquéd vase with embroidered flowers and leaves extending outward. The flowers are stitched in shades of yellow, purple, and pink with green leaves, displayed under glass in a light brown wooden frame on a tabletop.
