Exquisite art that does not leave people's minds is not the first millennium, the tapestry embroidery transforms houses and offices, organically fitting into any style of the interior. Those who have ever seen the final picture, embroidered in this technique, will never forget the sensations of painting on the fabric by threads.
Tapestry and semicirc.
На взгляд любителя, гобеленовая вышивка не is nothing complicated, differing from embroidering with a cross with only one stitch in a certain direction. But this is not so. Technique for the execution of the semi-ridge assumes the following pattern: the canvas cage or embroidery fabric intersects on the front side diagonally from the left to the right, and from the wrong side - from the upper right corner to the lower right.
Unlike the semicircle, the gobelin seamIt provides for the use of two cells for one stitch. In order to sew one stitch in the tapestry technique, it is necessary to bring the needle to the front side from the upper right corner and insert it on the wrong side in the lower left corner. The next stitch is performed by pulling from the underside of the thread to the upper right corner of the next cage. This is a modern version, called in manuals for embroidery "canvas seam", or oblique tapestry seam.
Types of tapestry stitch.
If the embroiderer is only acquainted with arttapestry, then she should pay attention to ready-made sets for embroidery. In them, an instruction is attached to the diagram, canvas and threads, where the tapestry seam is described in detail. The technique of its execution can be different: it is applied as described above, the "canvas suture", and others, presented in textbooks on needlework.
The proposed manuals on the basics of tapestry embroidery describe in addition 3 types of stitches: straight gobelin, elongated and Romanian.
Straight Gobelin the seam. Equipment his performance is simple:The needle is removed from the upper part of the cell on the front side and inserted on the back of the cell. One cell canvas is filled with more than one stitch, but two at a time. In this case, the first stitch exceeds the second stitch by exactly half, and the second one "grabs" half the height of the lower cage. This seam creates a feeling of three-dimensionality of the picture.
Elongated tapestry seam. In contrast to the "direct", when embroidering"Elongated" stitch occupies not one but two cells at once. When using such a seam, the tapestry fills a large area of the fabric. In addition, in some paintings it is recommended to combine straight and elongated tapestry seams to create the effect of painting with paints.
Romanian tapestry seam: differs "canvas" in that, before,how to lay a series of stitches, through a certain number of cells stretches a horizontal line with a thread, which will be sewn off the fragment. Next on this thread are superimposed "canvas" stitches.
Tapestry stitch - we create beautiful.
Standard application of the tapestry seam, asrule, associated with the embroidery of paintings and icons. This direction is especially popular among needle and thread masters. With the help of a tapestry seam, copies of paintings by famous artists are created (Romanian and Bulgarian tapestries are very popular among embroiderers) and their own creations.
But the tapestry seam can be used forother purposes. When creating new types of decorative and applied art, the technique of creating a tapestry is widely introduced, for example, in carpet embroidery. True, it is worth mentioning that in this type of needlework, the gobelin stitch is used only as an auxiliary element.
Also widely used techniques tapestry inEuropean forms of applied art, for example: in Richelieu, Florentine embroidery and "Bargello", combining the Florentine and Hungarian schools. These types of tapestry use the seam because of its increased wear resistance. This is due to the fact that the last three types of needlework are great for creating interior items - decorative pillows, prints on chairs, seat covers on armchairs and sofas.
