Cross Stitch / Punct in cruce

Cross Stitch
Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches in a tiled, raster-likeaida cloth. The stitcher counts the threads in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance. This form of cross-stitch is also called counted cross-stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross-stitch. Sometimes cross-stitch is done on designs printed on the fabric (stamped cross-stitch); the stitcher simply stitches over the printed pattern. pattern are used to form a picture.

Multicolored, shaded, painting-like patterns as we know them today are a recent development, deriving from similar shaded patterns of Berlin wool work of the mid-nineteenth century.
Traditionally, cross-stitch was used to embellish items like dishcloths, household linens, and doilies (only a small portion of which would actually be embroidered, such as a border). Although there are many cross-stitchers who still employ it in this fashion, especially in

Decupajul
Felicitarile / tablourile decupate
--- Pe o masa asteapta aranjate in ordine cateva zeci de coli de carton de diferite culori, un cutter (cutitas de birou), o rigla, un tub de lipici, sabloanereprezentand
diferite forme (flori, inimioare, clopoptei etc.)...
Aceasta este toata dotarea de care este nevoie pentru a realiza niste produse absolut iesite din comun: felicitari / tablouri decupate. Cutter`ul trebuie manuit cu grija si cu foarte mare atentie, ca fiecare taietura sa fie cat se poate de precisa.

---Tehnica de lucru este extraordinar de simpla. Se ia o bucata de carton, se pliaza in doua, iar partea dinspre privitor se decupeaza cu ajutorul cutter-ului urmarind contururile unui tipar (tiparul este un desen care a fost trasat in prelabil pe carton, cu creionul, si care indica ce portiuni trebuie decupate). Apoi, in interior se ataseaza o a doua bucata de carton, de o culoare contrastanta, care va scoate in evidenta modelul decupat si care va crea totodata niste umbre de efect. Sau se ia o bucata de carton, se decupeaza forma dorita dupa care se lipeste pe un carton pliat (in forma de felicitare, de coloare contrastanta).

---Nu este vorba de o mare indemanare, ci mai mult de atentie si rabdare, pentru ca e suficient sa te grabesti putin si asta se va vedea imediat in calitatea taieturilor. In plus exista si unele mici secrete legate de suprafata pe care lucrezi sau de tehnica realizarii anumitor taieturi.

Grafica atei


Modelele pe care le vedeti pe acest blog sunt cusute pe carton colorat (diferite culori).
Din pacate in romaneste nu exista o denumire standard pentru aceasta tehnica, dar daca e sa traducem mot-a-mot din germana sau din maghiara ar fi Grafica Atei ...
String art, pioneered in the late 1960s by the founders of Open Door Company of Los Gatos and Campbell, California, is characterized by an arrangement of colored thread strung between points to form abstract geometric patterns or representational designs such as a ship's sails, sometimes with other artist material comprising the remainder of the work. Thread, wire, or string is wound around a grid of nails hammered into a velvet covered wooden board. Though straight lines are formed by the string, the slightly different angles and metric positions at which strings intersect may give the appearance of Bézier curves (and often construct actual quadratic Bézier curves). Other forms of string art include Spirelli, which is used for cardmaking and scrapbooking, and curve stitching, in which string is stitched through holes.
