2- Embroidery mounting can be divided into two types, one is soft mounting and the other is hard mounting.
Soft packaging: Just like the traditional mounting method of calligraphy and painting in China, it is directly mounted on special paper.
Features: easy to carry, easy to transport, suitable for collection, regardless of size can be rolled up and put in a special tube.
When embroidering, the needle angle should be short, and the workmanship needs to be particularly fine. The main disadvantage is that it is easily affected by wet weather and dry bath.
Shrinkage deformation, in the process of mounting, embroidery needs to be soaked in water first, and the silk thread used for embroidery has a certain gloss.
It is easy for silk thread to lose its luster after soaking in water, thus affecting the color of embroidery. Mounting takes a long time, about a week.
Hard mounting: a common mounting method in embroidery mounting. After embroidery, put it directly on the bed.
Embroidered works are glued to a special thin board. After the glue is completely glued, the apron is removed and decorated.
Paper jam, and then framing
3-Methods and skills to improve the speed of cross stitch.
First, about embroidery.
1, embroidery. Picking embroidery is the king of cross-stitch embroidery speed. Many sisters may not know what embroidery is. Picking embroidery is actually omitting the second and third steps in the above steps. Don't change hands after the needle comes up, just take the next needle. Step 5 can be omit. The speed of picking embroidery is definitely more than twice. But the shortcomings of embroidery are also obvious. The most regrettable thing is that the stitches are not neat enough. Embroidery can still be seen if you have the patience to pull it by hand when the thread is uneven. Also, picking embroidery is only suitable for embroidering one color. Because it is more troublesome to calculate the point of the next stitch in loose stitches, it is easier to embroider mistakes. I can only sew a few stitches to change the color.
2, one hand, one hand. Sisters who have used embroidery frames should know this trick. In fact, they can do it without an embroidery frame. The most common way is to press one end of embroidered cloth on the table with a heavy object (the wire box is the best choice). When embroidering, you only need to hold the embroidered cloth gently on it with your hands, or you can wrinkle the embroidered cloth. Oh, not bad. It is also convenient to bury the thread head. When you are proficient, you can use this method on the sofa, bed and anywhere. Just practice more. As for which hand is on it, it doesn't matter, just get used to it. I recommend putting my right hand on the table for the following reasons. There is also the problem of pulling the wire, which can be pulled in stages or twice (with a double-headed needle, it can really be said to be seamless). It should be noted that when pulling twice, the line should be on it. If you pull the lower thread, it is easy to twist the thread together because you can't see it.
3. Comprehensive method. What is the comprehensive method? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is indiscriminate use, and that method is used wherever it is suitable. Therefore, I recommend putting my right hand on it, so that I can embroider directly in a suitable place without changing hands. When embroidering a color, I usually like to embroider the lower half needle with one hand and the upper half needle with the other, which is quick and good.
Second, about starting and closing the needle.
When starting the needle, take an embroidery thread with a length of 1m, fold it in half, and thread the needle with the folded end, thus leaving a ring. When the thread is finished, you can take another thread through the left circle, then fold it in half and thread the needle to continue embroidery. Although the speed is not greatly improved, it can save one time of starting and closing the needle, which is convenient and saves thread. Recommended for sisters. Especially when embroidering gold thread, this method is highly recommended. It is necessary to tie a knot at both ends of the second thread so that the gold thread will not spread or pull. You can embroider like ordinary embroidery thread, without cutting it short or wasting it.
Third, about embroidered cloth.
Cross-stitch cloth has articles to do, and it can be checked with vanishing pen or thread, which can get twice the result with half the effort. In addition, when embroidering scattered colors, you can mark them with a vanishing pen first (be careful not to make a mistake, otherwise. . . . . . ), it can not only prevent embroidery mistakes, but also improve the speed (it is not necessary to embroider into a color).
Fourth, other tips
1, less first, then more: there is nothing to say about this. Embroider less first, then fill in more.
2. Embroider the outline first: There is nothing to say about this. To deal with a large piece of color, embroider the outline first and then fill it in.
3, multi-needle simultaneous operation: this is easier to say. This method can be used to deal with patterns with only two or three colors but frequent needle changes. Just put these colors on with needles respectively. Which color to embroider without changing thread is it much more convenient to wear the needle of this color directly? It should be noted that the unused needles should be tied up and put on the embroidered cloth, so I don't need to go into details.
4-How to choose the right cross-stitch brand package?
From very simple key chains and small pendants at the beginning to exquisite hanging pictures, pillows and even huge murals today, cross-stitch has made extremely rapid development in China. In recent two years, various cross-stitch brands have launched their own brand bags, which is even more eye-catching for embroidery friends.
Although it is not difficult to embroider cross stitch, it takes a lot of time and energy to complete a work. If you accidentally turn your head when buying cross-stitch and buy a cross-stitch product with poor quality, sometimes the thread will break and fade, and even the embroidered cloth is not flat enough. Finally, you try to embroider it and find that the whole pattern is deformed ... How many embroidery friends have experienced the painful feeling of "drawing water with a sieve"? Therefore, since we want to embroider cross-stitch, we must not be greedy and cheap. Even if you spend a little more money and choose a truly excellent cross-stitch product, your sweat will flow away in vain.
What kind of cross-stitch products should I choose in order to make the needles I have worked so hard to achieve their due value? Because there are cross-stitch bags with good materials on the market now, the process of matching materials ourselves is omitted. So, what should I pay attention to when I want to buy a cross-stitch bag?
First, choose the embroidery map: when we open the packaged cross-stitch package, we'd better look at the embroidery map of cross-stitch first, which is generally called drawing. The renderings on the outside of the package are of course very important, but you can really know what you are doing only by looking at the embroidery. Generally, the embroidery drawings of powerful cross-stitch brands are printed in full color, and the colors of embroidery drawings and finished products are completely corresponding, and the ratio between them is 1: 1. The embroidery map is marked with not only the symbols corresponding to the line number, but also the striking center point and coordinates, which makes people look very intuitive and clear at a glance. Embroidered drawings that meet these conditions are not only not tiring, but also not easy to make mistakes, and even novices can easily get started.
Some brands of embroidered pictures are printed by printers, so these brands are basically not considered. Even if it is a very fresh pattern, it is best not to try it. Anyone who knows a little about cross-stitch design knows that as long as there is a software, this kind of graphics is easy to type. But when you embroider, you will find that there are many places where the colors are very fragmentary and the overall effect is not very good. Really good embroidery pictures are processed by professional designers, and the color matching is perfect, so this problem will not occur.
Common brands with better embroidered pictures are: ks, Royal Family, Cherry and Cai Yi. The embroidery paintings made in the late K period are all color-printed, but there are still some black and white in the early stage. It is worth mentioning that the embroidery picture of cherry is usually placed on the outermost part of the bag. Just open the outermost plastic bag and take out the embroidered picture without opening the inner bag, which is very convenient. Moreover, the embroidered pictures with large colors are bound page by page, which is very beautiful and has a feeling of being very suitable for collection.
Second, choose embroidered cloth: cross-stitch embroidered cloth is grid-shaped and square-eyed, which corresponds to the pattern and can be cut according to the size of the pattern. Generally, there are six specifications: 9ct, 1 1ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct and 32ct. Generally speaking, the cross-stitch bags we often see in the market are 1 1ct and 14ct. There used to be a lot of 9ct fabrics, but now there are fewer and fewer. 14ct embroidered 2 or 3 strands, 1 1ct embroidered 4 or 5 strands, and 9ct embroidered 6 strands. How many strands are used depends on the thickness of the embroidery thread. You can try to embroider a few different strands on the embroidered cloth first to see if the effect is full.
You can find many introductions about the types of embroidered cloth on the Internet. Everyone knows that the quality of French dmc and German embroidered cloth is better, but now few people want to match those materials alone. All brands are also promoting where their embroidery fabrics are imported. You only need to refer to it when you choose. As for whether the embroidered cloth inside is imported or made in China, it is hard for us to say. However, no matter where embroidered cloth comes from, we can still distinguish the quality of embroidered cloth from the aspects of appearance and feel.
First of all, the grid of embroidered cloth must be correct, and the embroidered eyes are not easy to deform. Otherwise, the embroidered pattern is likely to be crooked. Fortunately, most brands will wrap embroidered cloth in their bags, which ensures the correctness of embroidered cloth. If the brand you choose does not give the embroidered cloth code, you must pay attention to whether the embroidered cloth is correct, and be careful not to let the embroidered cloth edge off the line when embroidering, which is very troublesome.
The second is the color of embroidered cloth. Generally speaking, the embroidered cloth in the bag is mostly white, red and black. White is easy to say. If the red and black embroidered cloth fades, all your hard work will be in vain. Therefore, when buying red and black embroidered cloth sets, we should pay special attention to whether the color fades. Secretly wipe the cloth with slightly wet fingers to see if there is color on your hands, but before that, make sure your hands are clean, or you will be easily caught and compensated! Remember, remember.
Then pay attention to the hardness of embroidered cloth. A better embroidered cloth will look harder if it is burnt. It is also very convenient to embroider in this way. In addition, the thickness of embroidered cloth is also an index worthy of attention. But the thickness of embroidered cloth is not necessarily good. The embroidered cloth of genuine dmc is very thin, and the key is to be strong.
Some embroiderers are superstitious about the legendary "orange cloth", but it is totally unnecessary. The so-called orange edge cloth is just a line on the edge of embroidered cloth, not a special anti-counterfeiting logo. When choosing embroidered cloth, you should trust your eyes more.
Third, choose embroidery thread: with good drawings and embroidered cloth, what is missing next is good embroidery thread. Everyone knows that dmc embroidery thread is good, but the price is on the high side. And now the embroidery thread in the brand packaging is enough, and we hardly need a separate thread. Good embroidery thread should be strong, shiny and not easy to fade.
All brands are saying that their embroidery thread is imported, but this is not necessarily the case. When we choose, we should not listen to their propaganda, but listen to the opinions of embroidery friends around us and trust our eyes. The gloss of embroidery thread is the most intuitive, and the finished product embroidered by embroidery thread with good gloss is more beautiful. Anyway, it's your choice. There is no absolutely perfect product. In fact, those minor problems are still acceptable.
Even if the thread is broken and blurred, it doesn't matter, but the problem of embroidery thread fading can't be sloppy! Even if only one color of embroidery thread fades, it may ruin your whole work. Embroidery thread is not absolutely colorfast, even if it is dmc. Then we should pay more attention to the maintenance of finished products. Remember not to wash embroidered products with washing powder, let alone soak them in washing powder water, then your works will become abstract. If you really want to wash it, just wipe it gently with water, and don't wash it with too many chemicals. Because embroidery thread is dyed, if it is washed with high-temperature hot water and washing powder, almost none of it will fade completely. This is also the most important point of embroidery maintenance. In contrast, the embroidery thread of some domestic popular brands has faded more seriously.
Another thing to note is the material of embroidery thread. Generally speaking, embroidery thread is made of cotton, and its luster is almost completely achieved by mercerization. Now there are some cross-stitch brands. The embroidery thread has amazing luster, but it is not cotton thread at all. It is not only easy to break, but once it is broken, the whole thread will fall off from the embroidered cloth. I would like to remind you embroidery friends that you must not only look at the gloss when choosing, but also don't be fooled by individual businesses.
Others: drawing, embroidery cloth and embroidery thread can be said to be the three elements of cross-stitch. In addition to these three most important places, there are some other details that deserve our attention.
Embroidery needle: Although embroidery needle can be embroidered in any way, the efficiency will be improved a lot if it is convenient. Cross-stitch embroidery needles are big eyes and dull. Generally speaking, the common 1 1ct and 14ct packages all come with different types of needles, and the needles of 1 1ct packages are slightly larger.
Embroidered ring: Although the embroidered ring is not in the brand package, let's talk about it. Embroidery circle must buy that kind of activity, otherwise it will be very depressing to pretend. In terms of material, bamboo is better than plastic, because plastic is more prone to deterioration. However, when using bamboo embroidery rings, be sure to carefully check whether there are burrs on them to prevent scratching the works.
Embroidery stand: Generally speaking, the most common embroidery stands are vertical, desktop and hand-operated, all of which are made of wood. There are two ways to fix embroidered cloth: sewing cloth and kapok. The sewing method needs to sew embroidered cloth at a fixed position, which is more troublesome, but the effect is better when rolling embroidered cloth. Kabu style is simple to use, but it is not very effective compared with sewing style. In short, each has its own characteristics. When installing embroidered frame, be sure to place rubber washer on the shaft, otherwise it will be difficult to fix the frame and easy to wear the embroidered frame.
Packaging: Although packaging is not particularly important, it should at least make people look beautiful.
Cross-stitch is a kind of handicraft, and its real value should be hand-made. When I finished a work, I felt a sense of accomplishment beyond words. If you want to try the fun of cross stitch, buy a bag and join the embroidery friends.
Five-color art of cross-stitch mounting
Cross-stitch has always been framed in cross-stitch shops, because it is really clever and artistic. I like what I have worked so hard to embroider, but it is very expensive. At present, I have found a framed one, which is good, but I don't pay attention to artistic collocation. If I want to be artistic, I have to show what color my background frame and outer frame are. The works are embroidered to match, and the frame is the finishing touch. I feel that I appreciate the visual impact of cross-stitch products. Now it is very important to proceed from its entirety. Cross stitch is not only to "brighten" people's visual feelings with colors, but also its form and overall style are very important. I will talk about my views on these issues:
Color: There are cold and warm colors, and there are differences in lightness, hue and purity between them. If you want to study this thing well, I suggest reading some related books. On the whole, the color should be uniform and comfortable, not too cold, too warm, too raw and too gray. This degree requires experience.
Form: the shape of "cross stitch" pattern, and choose the appropriate box according to its shape. Let yourself look comfortable, because handicrafts themselves are appreciated.
Overall style: judging from the content of "cross stitch", if it is European style, it is necessary to choose the picture frame commonly used in European tradition and the pattern with China characteristics. I don't think you need to tell me what framework to use. It's easy for anyone to say that art is often simple, lively and practical.
To put it simply, if it is a landscape painting dominated by green, choose a green frame, like the red rose heart in Fu Na, and choose a red frame. If you don't know what to do, choose brown, because brown is in harmony with any color picture. No problem/comment: In other words, a three-part painting is framed in seven minutes, and a work is finally framed into a finished product. The role of mounting and matching is self-evident. This paper introduces the frame selection of mounting from the color and style, which is very refined and worth learning.
In addition, I am here to make a little supplement to color matching:
In the collocation of cross-stitch cardboard frames, the adjacent hue contrast in "color contrast" in art is generally used, and a few use zero-degree contrast and strong column contrast. (To put it more popularly, it is to make the contrast between works, cardboard and frames not very strong. The works thus pretended are harmonious and unified as a whole.
Secondly, works usually have many colors. But there must be one or more themes, such as "home and everything". The theme colors are pink, black and green. White (cloth). Therefore. When I mounted this painting, I boldly chose dark red cardboard and imitation mahogany frame. The cardboard and the work complement each other. This is the overall effect. How to find out the theme color in the work? There are several ways. The first is the tone of the whole picture. For example, the theme color of embroidered red cloth must be red or (yellow, gold. Black) or all works have a large area of a certain color (such as yellow and gold everywhere). Second, find the most striking color in the picture. The third is that if there are too many colors and too many variegated colors, it can be understood as gray.
Use these three methods. We can easily choose the right cardboard. Such as red cloth. Generally, card paper is gold. Red. Black, the border is imitation mahogany or gold. The second situation. Like a pillar on the machine building. If it is a landscape painting dominated by green, choose a green box, like a red rose heart, and choose a red box. The third situation is more complicated, such as the demon Ji of ks, and the whole picture is very bright. Every color is similar. Then I'll take it as gray. When mounting, use a white frame of beige cardboard. (Gray-white contrast), the overall effect is not bad:)
On the production and collocation of decorative painting.
The decorative painting here refers to the decorative painting made of beautifully printed picture cores and cardboard frame glass. A good decorative painting should first be unified and harmonious as a whole, with a core and a paper jam. Paper jam and photo frame. The color relationship between the frame and the core must be found correctly. Followed by style collocation. Finally, the mounting method and workmanship.
Colors have colors. Tone. In color. The first thing to look at is the color of the core. The easiest way is to judge the color of the painting core. In a painting. That color takes up a lot of space. Then this color is the core tone. You can also call it environmental color. For example, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is khaki. After determining the hue, you can select the box. It is recommended to use gold classical European frame. Brown and imitation mahogany can be used as the background color. The best effect of paper jam is khaki paper jam. It is appropriate to be the same as or close to the background of the painting core. Light beige will do. Stylistically, the core and frame are European-style, so that all three are colored with yellow tones. The colors of the fake paintings will be harmonious. Have aesthetic feeling. And paintings with messy colors. Every total color is similar. Color selection try to use the colors around the painting as the base color.
Mounting method does not play a decisive role in decorative painting. However, the appropriate mounting method can make a decorative painting unique and novel, and it is also a good scheme to combine the mounting method with the painting core style. According to the painting style. Colors are mounted in different ways, which is very simple. Complexity is complexity. Like a simple line drawing. Use the simplest installation method. If there is no framework. Or just put on a simple pose. Such as small straight boundaries. Adding cardboard does not mean cutting too many patterns. One floor will do. The same is true for monochrome painting cores.
Classical pictures can be framed a little more complicated. Double paper jam The picture frame should be European or court style. Such as gold and platinum frames with complex patterns.
Improper mounting method makes the picture dim.
There are also some abstract paintings with complex patterns. Still life flowers and other painting cores can be installed by floating in glass. Keep the painting core at a certain distance from the cardboard or tile paper to show the three-dimensional effect/
Third, color elements and color contrast.
& ltI > Basic Types of Tone Contrast
After more than two kinds of color matching, the color contrast effect caused by hue difference is called hue contrast. It is a basic aspect of color contrast, and its contrast intensity depends on the distance (angle) between hues on the color ring. The smaller the distance (angle), the stronger the contrast, and vice versa.
1 .0 degree contrast
(1) Although the contrast between achromatic color and achromatic color is colorless, their combination is very valuable in practical use. Such as black and white, black gray, medium gray, light gray, or black and white gray, dark black gray, light gray. The contrast effect feels generous, solemn, elegant and modern, but it is also easy to feel too simple and monotonous.
(2) achromatic and colored pairs, such as black and red, gray and purple, or black and white and yellow, white and gray and blue. The contrast effect feels generous and lively. When the area of achromatic color is large, it tends to be elegant and solemn; when the area of color is large, the sense of liveliness is strengthened.
(3) The contrast of the same hue with different lightness or purity, commonly known as sister color combination. Such as blue and light blue (blue+white), orange and brown (orange+gray) or green and pinkish green (green+white) and dark green (green+black). The contrast effect feels unified, quiet, elegant, implicit and steady, but it is also prone to monotonous and inflexible disadvantages.
(4) Compared with the same hue, such as white and dark blue and light blue, black and orange and brown, achromatic color has the advantages of (2) and (3). On a certain level, I feel generous, lively and steady.
Harmony and contrast
(1) Two or three adjacent colors on the adjacent hue contrast color ring have a hue distance of about 30 degrees, which belongs to the weak contrast type. For example, the contrast between red, orange, yellow and orange. The effect feels soft, harmonious, elegant and quiet, but it also feels monotonous, fuzzy, boring and powerless. It is necessary to adjust the brightness difference to enhance the effect.
(2) Similar hue contrast hue contrast distance is about 60 degrees, which belongs to weak contrast type, such as red and yellow-orange contrast. The effect is rich and lively, but it does not lose the feeling of unity, elegance and harmony.
(3) The contrast distance of middle contrast hue is about 90 degrees, which belongs to middle contrast type. For example, the yellow-green cross-stitch mounting method is more vivid, lively, full, exciting and interesting than other cross-stitch mounting methods, and the contrast is quite strong, but it does not lose the sense of harmony.
3. Strong contrast
(1) contrast hue The contrast hue distance is about 120 degrees, which belongs to strong contrast type, such as yellow-green, red-purple contrast. The effect is strong, eye-catching, powerful, lively and rich, but it is not easy to be unified and messy, stimulating and causing visual fatigue. Generally, various reconciliation methods are needed to improve the contrast effect.
(2) The contrast distance of complementary color contrast hue is 180 degrees, which belongs to extreme contrast types, such as red and turquoise, yellow and blue-purple. The effect is strong, dazzling, loud and powerful, but if it is not handled properly, it is easy to produce childish, primitive, vulgar, unstable and uncoordinated feelings.
