To make the interior really cozy, designers recommend decorating it with piecework done by hand. And in this case, embroidery with a cross may turn out to be very useful. Triptychs, diptychs and polyptychs, having a single storyline, can tell the whole story or emphasize the concept conceived by the owners of the apartment. And if these works are done by the owners themselves, it can also become a matter of pride. But where to start, especially a beginner in this business?
Where and how to place the triptych?
No matter how strange it may seem, you should not immediately run to a specialized store. First you need to carefully examine the room that will be decorated with cross-stitch. Triptychs can be performed in any style. This can be either a single picture, consisting of three works, or three different works that have similar motives or are a continuation of each other. And in order not to get confused when choosing the right kit, it’s worth immediately deciding where and how the finished cross-stitch will be located.
Triptychs are placed one below the other, thus forming columns or openings in the wall. Or they are placed horizontally in one line, for example, above the sofa. In this case, it will be very interesting to look at a single drawing of natural motifs, broken into 3 parts. But in the first version it is better to give preference to paintings that have the same style, but so that each has its own plot. True, there will always be an exception to these rules.
Where and how to get a triptych?
After you determine the place where the future cross-stitch will be located, the triptych (sets or ready-made patterns can be found in the store) will be much easier to choose. Now it will not only become clear how it will be framed, but also what size it will be. It remains only to buy what you need. Today, this can be done not only in specialized needlework stores, but also to order your favorite embroidery kit via the Internet. In the second case, you can save money by filling out a prepayment application or choosing something from a sale.
It is worth noting that it will be more convenient for beginner embroiderers to purchase a ready-made kit. It usually includes everything you need for full work: canvas, floss, needle and color scheme. But those who easily succeed in
cross-stitching, the triptych (schemes are free of charge freely available on the network) will be able to perform independently. They will surely be able to choose the canvas of the right size and the color
scheme of the mouline thread. But it is better to entrust the design of the finished work to professionals. In a
framing workshop, this will be done not only more accurately, but will also give the embroidery a finished look. A correctly selected frame should not draw attention to itself, but only frame the picture.
Conclusion
After choosing a kit for interior decoration, the most difficult stage will begin - the cross-stitch itself. The triptychs, before being found on the wall in the frame, will be taken away from the landlady more than one evening. Few people today boast the presence of handicrafts in their home. In addition, such a picture will be a great gift to relatives and friends.
