Embroidering it’s old craft of womens all over the world

It can be embroideries by threads, beads or ribbons

Long time ago Russian people believe that before starting work need making a dream and in the end of work it’s successfully comes true

Womens was decorating houses and clothes

It was several options of graffity on pillows, towels, tablecloths and for decorating fabric for icons

Was considered that woman need do it for saving omens and superstitions, for comfort and saving love at home

Now it gone to past, and for modern womens it’s basically hobby, not usual craft

You could embroider on any fabric, because crosses have a square shape

 Now most of all use special fabric - canvas

It can be any color, depends on wish or type of embroidery

It’s something like background of future picture

Common color of course it’s white

There are a lot kinds of things for embroidery – sets, separate canvas, canvas with picture

You may buy set, It’s consists of threads, empty canvas, and schema

Separate canvas is empty, you can start work with any your schema

Canvas with picture include picture on the canvas

Such canvas can’t tolerate water, so need save it from it, cuz picture can melt and spoil all long work

Also there are a lot types of threads for embroidery, you can use any brands

It can be cotton, wool and silk threads

Common thread consist of 6 small lines, you should devide it on 2 or 3 lines for embroidering

It need for tender looking work and of course for economy

Ended work should looks like a picture

Embroidering it’s very useful work, it’s contribute soothing and forgetting about main work, focusing attention on your dream

For good embroidering you should know what do you want to get

Let me clarify - you may choose any picture or canvas with included meaning, or just use random canvas and making a wish

For example birds means joy, beauty, happiness, couple of animals means happiness and sincerely love in family, if you want have your own home you should embroider house and other meanings~

Main thing in embroidery work it’s do it with love, patiently, be gently and carefully, try think about your wish, embroidering in relaxing ambience, better private with your thoughts

Need do all works with sense and include piece of your soul and you will get 100% success

The paintings, embroidered in cross technique will be a wonderful addition to any decoration and interior of home or office

I would like to share some of my embroidered works included 2 techniques- threads and beads
