#blackwork embroidery

[loosethreadstitchery]

Finished yesterday. Cross stitch for the frame and blackwork embroidery for the circular fills, on black 14-count Aida cloth.

While I feel like I've generally improved my project photography skills over the last few years, the contrast (or lack thereof) between DMC 211 and DMC B5200 in those smallest circles was A Trial.

Pattern here.

Complete cornflower blackwork.

This represents approximately 50ish hours of work.

I must be crazy but

Here we have my rendition to @where-does-the-heart-lie DTIYS

This is probably an odd choice in terms of "drawing" and not even sure if this fits into a dtiys but threads is my only language.

Actually, it took me a ridiculous amount of time to dicide if do it or not (and another ridicolous amount of time to finisht it) but life is short and how many more excuses do I need to embroider one of my favorite takes on Sabo?

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed doing it ✨

Close up and a bit about the procces and choices unde the cut!

The pearcings are metal

In this case I thought that using only one color would not have worked so I chose to use more than black. First time ever using color threats. Why I do this to myself

This technique is called blackwork and usually is one color thread embroidery. The texture, light and dark is achived

through diferent patterns and thickness of the threats.

At first I wanted to make it bigger, so that the body pose would be more visible, but bigger meant more time and I had to take into account the deadline. And being a(n) functional adult takes a lot of time. This one took me around 30/35 hours (errors and little cries included), probably a little more.

I have learned A LOT during the proces and i'm starting to feeling it, the color threat thing.

I don't rule out completing the ASL trio just for my own enjoyment.

Tip: If you decide to choose colored threads, make sure you do it in sunlight; What I thought was a beautiful blonde in the light of my lamp, turned out to be a membership card to the Weasley family the next morning. I had to undo hours of work.

Lesson learned.

I haven't shared my embroidery with people in a long time, so I figured I would start. Rambling special interest details and a description of the piece under the cut!

This piece was created for a show my embroidery tutor was entering her students in. The original idea was to do the entire background in blackwork with only the word standing out, but somewhere along the line I ran out of the will to live and stopped. Given the sentiment of the piece, I think it's fitting. I did get it submitted to the show on time though, much to the surprise of my tutor (and myself - I have adhd).

This is blackwork embroidery in 6" hoop done on something silly like 40ct or 52ct white evenweave fabric, using a single stand of blue variegated cotton thread (I think it's Gentle Arts 'Mediterranean Sea'), with metallic silver thread couched down to outline the word "ugh."

PRETTY COLOURS!

Some new fancy multi coloured embroidery supplies from The Stitchy Ferret in the Uk

I got this lovely aida and linen which is dyed blue/pink/purple and Is delicious

matching multicoloured embroidered threads. So looking forward to doing some coloured blackwork with this.

I will continue stitching colour wheels until I am stopped. Blackwork embroidery on 14-count Aida.

This one uses just seven thread colours (six for the fills, plus white for outlines). Each section has a 3-part gradient on a bit of a curve, which was a bit different to design, but no harder to stitch than my earlier 2-part gradients.

On the homeward stretch now! Although the outer motif is making me cross-eyed as I stitch it 😵

So continuing my trend of "be the change you want to see in the world (from the comfort of your sofa)", another embroidery piece! As usual, details under the cut.

This is a Chinese water deer skull, my second attempt at a skull. I stitched this a few years ago but never actually finished mounting it because of who I am as a person.

Because I enjoy suffering, the moon is couched gold metallic thread, with the blackwork pattern stitched in a single stand of gold thread. It's difficult to make out, but there's also some drapey thread in metallic opalescent thread, anchored with some French knots.

The bit I really dislike now are the silk shaded apple blossoms. My skill has progressed since then, which is probably why this one was never gifted to its intended recipient. I am highly critical of myself and would like to redo this at some point.

The fabric is white quilting cotton with a white-on white spotted pattern, stretched into an 8" hoop.

ID: the skull of a Chinese water deer rests on a golden crescent moon with arrows stitched into it, pointing down. There are apple blossoms to the left and behind the skull, and to the right of the skull there's opalescent thread draping off the moon.
