Secrets of the Picture

    Stranded middle of a flower is dark crimson inside and rising above the layers of the corner of the inner petals are bright. The alternation of light and dark values creates a lively effect. It is better to make the embroidery by layers of short coats no more than 0. 5 cm in one thread with an infusion of tones to avoid pronounced border color. It is easy to do for painter. You should make a long bar with a needle, then you'll make a short one and you'll alternate to tone thread smoothly into one another. You'll alternate the next row on the contrary, to fill the gaps between the rows, opening the material base. You can walk on top of the thread desired hue to lighten or spotlight already embroidered petal. It is right to make the embroidery of the leaves in natural dark green, leaving room for the veins, which are then filled with threads of a lighter tone stalk seam. The stitches have to be put in the direction from the edge to the middle. Here I find one of the craft secret. Mushrooms are real godsend for those who like still life. They themselves are remarkably picturesque, so they must be properly only to sketch from nature, or to find a good photo, where colors are well visible. Mushrooms are best to be embroidered satin stitch stalk with silk or wool thread. A small volumetric bouquet being lined and embroidered on the basis material looks very decorative. Copy the circuit of the basket image with flowers on the fabric base. You should make the embroidery by a raised stem stitch or a chain. Cut out small flowers and leaves from well starched and ironed patches. First, attach the leaves to the base material. Each piece should be gathered with needle forward at the base or roll along the main veins and sew the fabric-based. Apply a flower and secure it in the center of the leaves on top with a bead or a path satin stitch roll knot. Roses in a basket can be sewn by a seam Rococo or lay down a narrow satin ribbon. The tape may be composed at right angles somewhere in the middle. It turns out the imposition of a triangular strip in the center and two free ends. Then these leads are bent alternately formed in the center of the triangle. An accordion will be formed after 6 or 7 overlays. Hold with your fingers one of the ends of the bellows pull the second one. A beautiful rosette appears under your hands. Practice a few times to get the best result of the embroidery craft. When the result will satisfy you with its perfection, sew it with thread from the back side of the base material. Lilac flowers can be sewn by loops with attaching or you should cut each flower from silk of lilac gammy.
