Hmmmm, where did I get this feeling you weren't exactly going for the ladylike, elegant look for your fan design? I may surprise us both and buy some fancy threads for that fan one of these days. There's a gorgeous design, complete with how to's in a book that I'm too lazy to go upstairs to get the name of. Before attempting that project, I need to practise laying down an evenly spaced trellis. hahaha, thanks to you, I decided to let my imagination go and have some real fun creating my next embroidery. ooooooh, I can't wait to see what an real artiste comes up with One doesn't need to use shading to add depth to a design........you can use pattern to add depth, for example doing a check border in an area, in another, do some stripes, then add some dots, these patterns can be in bright colors or subdued by using more pastel and close colors . Many artists will use pattern instead of just shading their artwork to add depth to their work. I'm slowly coming to realize that I don't need to recreate the original exactly or duplicate the intricate color schemes of cross stitch charts to create something that pleases me. FYI, my WIP began life as Clementine Clothcollector in a red dress and a blue hat. She's morphed into Velma Vacationer with a red hat and turquoise dress ;-) -- another Anne, add ingers to frugalf to reply |
