Has anyone seen a pattern for an art deco or Charles Rennie MacIntosh style Christmas stocking?

I could swear I'd seen one, but haven't the foggiest clue where.. First chance I have to leaf through old magazines is Monday, but maybe someone else will know....

I'll be interested if anyone comes up with an art deco stocking.

If I had ever seen one of these, I would remember.

Which means there's a need to be met.

And if I wasn't so busy, I'd try creating my own.

Hmmmm - Sue - if you're really interested - LMK. At my "teaching" class - I'm the one who ended up with the referenc of Art Deco & Art Nouveau designs & the challenge from my "mentor" to come up with a design based upon thie. SO.....it's entirely possible I could do something in a few weeks - no sooner due to multiple commitments.

Anyhow - let me know - seriously.

Ah, but you're so easily temptible - there's not much challenge in it ;^)

Well, hmm, it's something to think about. Oh - the daylilies are really coming in - it's amazing.

I agree - there's an unfilled need. I didn't have anything in particular in mind, just thinking about making stockings for new SIL and my "DIL presumptive" (if they want them). DILP is into art deco & art nouveau, which is what prompted the question. I haven't found anything, but there seem to be other people interested, too!

Well, seriously - I was looking at the reference stuff that I was given, and sort of toying sketching. So, while I've some other things to finish up quite immediately - I'm up for playing with a stocking idea. We can talk off-line - give me some basic info like size you'd like, and special motifs or if you'll just let me play and I'd like to think I can come up with something special.

Got to run now - ANG meeting for the "other" NoVA chapter - and it's crossing town in rush hour for me.

A Charles Rennie Mackintosh rose would be easy to work into a stocking pattern. You could make it like a stained glass window and use intense colours to make it 'pop'.

Or, an Egyptian-styled design of a lotus done in colours of lapis lazuli and golden yellow.

Or, for an Art Nouveau design, you could get hold of one of the Mucha ladies and incorporate her into a stocking. 'The Jewels' would be good, because they're done in good, strong colours. 'The Seasons' are more pastel if that's preferred.

If you do a google for art nouveau/art deco, lots and lots of pics come up. If you add 'tiles' to the search, or 'stained glass' or 'colouring pages', you tend to get more workable designs for embroidery.

One last idea: if you have a good art deco font, the word 'Noel' or 'Yule' or 'Christmas' could be rendered and worked in appropriate colours for a stocking?

Oh there things that don't tempt me at all - remind me to tell you off list about the caw....

Glad to hear it. Don't dig up anything that is "dead" right now, they could be storing up for next spring. Patience is the name of the game right now.
