Cross-stitching has become a popular type of needlework primarily because it does not require specific skills, equipment or tools. Many experienced embroiderers began with the simplest drawings on home waffle towels, worked with sewing threads and made countless mistakes in technology. Today, you can start embroidering from scratch on the basis of the many years of experience of other needlewomen, which took the form of detailed articles and books, visual instructions in a video format, collections of detailed and concise schemes. Of course, the best embroidery for beginners is a flower: the variety of their types, shapes and shades allows you to choose a picture to your liking and begin your career with a really excellent idea.
Options
What images does the phrase "flower embroidery" conjure up in the imagination? The pattern can be made in bright or pastel colors, the inflorescence itself can be depicted as the only subject of embroidery. Of course, most Russian and foreign circuit designers try to place beautiful creatures of nature in a suitable habitat: in a well-kept garden, along a forest path, in a field, on the surface of the water, in a pot on the window. Bouquets are no less popular option. However, if you are just beginning to comprehend the basics of needlework and you are interested in flower embroidery, the scheme should meet certain criteria. It is better if it is just an inflorescence, and not a bouquet or landscape. Choose the smallest drawings so that in case of an error you can easily correct the work. It is good if the finished embroidery fits in a frame with a 10x10 cm hole.
Kinds
What does flower embroidery look like? The scheme consists of squares of red and pink tones, and smooth lines form many prefabricated petals? The rose queen must be dominant in your imagination. Unfortunately, only an embroiderer with experience is capable of depicting this magnificent inflorescence with thread floss. For beginners, any flowers that do not require a game of shades and have a simpler structure are suitable. For example, magnolias, cornflowers, poppies, chamomiles, lilacs look beautiful. And the most favorite design of needlewomen with any experience remains multi-colored, but rather modest pansies.
What's next?
If you have already trained your hand and with absolute confidence hold the needle in your hands, try any drawings you like. Many well-known manufacturers sell large format kits. These are phloxes, and rhododendrons, and mimosa, and asters, and orchids, and lilies, and the same recalcitrant roses, from the dream of which your first flower embroidery began. The scheme can be bright or black and white, Russian or foreign, simple or full of small details. The only important thing is that flowers are an enduring classic, and your paintings will certainly be a huge success.
