Svetlana Gerasimova is a famous needlewoman who creates beautiful paintings from ribbons. Her works have repeatedly participated in exhibitions and competitions, taking prizes and first places. Numerous awards and recognition have become well-deserved results of talent, multiplied by diligence and the desire for self-improvement.
How it all began
Svetlana did not immediately come to embroidery with ribbons . She always loved to create something with her own hands, however, she took up embroidery just a little over ten years ago.
It all started after the birth of a daughter. Then Svetlana Gerasimova first tried her hand at embroidery. First, there was a cross in the technique, then went to a more complex embroidery - stitch. And only after the birth of the second child, the future craftswoman began to create works from tapes. In this type of needlework, skills acquired earlier in simpler techniques were useful to her.
The many years of collecting information on creating paintings with ribbons, studying the experience of famous embroiderers and practice led to the emergence of a new craftswoman - Svetlana Gerasimova. Embroidery with ribbons became for her a part of life, which brought not only the joy of creativity, but also fame and her favorite thing.
Subtleties of craftsmanship
In her works, the needlewoman very accurately depicts flowers and birds. They look like they are alive. The craftswoman herself said that in the image of birds it is very important that the direction of the stitches correspond to the direction of growth of the feathers, then the bird will look natural.
Some works not only cause admiration, but also convey the mood, for example, a drake flying in the rays of the setting sun over a forest river. According to Svetlana Gerasimova, embroidery with ribbons differs from other types due to its bulk and 3D effect. However, this effect alone is not able to create a special mood for the picture. First of all, this is the talent of the master, which is manifested in every stitch.
The basis for Svetlana's work is a canvas with an image. She herself prints the desired picture, and then embroiders it with ribbons. The work uses different types of stitches. In the images of birds one feels good mastery of the technique of embroidering stitch. In some works, Svetlana uses toning tapes with paints (for example, when embroidering flowers).
