If I can only choose one of the artistic creations in life - all other types of art are closed - I will choose hand embroidery. This is the choice I have to make today, but if this is eleven years ago I will not make a choice. Eleven years ago, I have not found books and embroidery skills for specific British women. Are you familiar with her name? Are you right? Helen M. Stevens.
I first saw the publication of Helen M. Stevens at a bookstore in 2000. It appears in Honolulu. Before that, I have been doing free-style embroidery for many years, and I have never really done a simpler stitching technique, but I have designed some tropical bird images and enjoyed this process. I also worked on cross stitch patterns of other artists and then designed some cross stitch bird designs on the software. I made a pinpoint picture and didn't like that stitch because I don't like rough, thick lines.
My mother took a lot of small photos in more than 20 years. I cherish the photos with frames, because my own mother stitched the photos myself, but the little ones are not like what I want to do. That makes me interested. Most people who do petite points need a magnifying glass to count the number of stitches.
Ms. Stevens ' true embroidery
Before watching the book by Helen M. Stevens, for me, dozens of colored lines of different shades attracted me to embroidery. In freestyle hand embroidery, I have experienced straight stitches, satin stitches, shadow linings and other simple stitches. Freestyle embroidery has been used for thousands of years. It is both relaxing and creative. By 1999, I thought I had done enough embroidery for a lifetime. There are oil paintings and chalk paintings and other art forms that I want to learn and try.
Helen M. Stevens called her embroidery: true embroidery. I opened her first book. Eternal embroidery art. My interest in embroidery art and history suddenly soared. There, I was in a bookstore, try not to be impulsive, but I feel that I have just opened the best book of my life. I read the book carefully for an hour before I let myself buy it. I have to get it! This is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Since then, I have purchased more Helen M. Stevens' books.
The difference between Ms. Stevens and #39; The skills, realism, passion and interesting narratives in the books she has read are not fully explained in this short article compared to other embroidered books I have read. When you open the book of Helen M. Stevens, the entire art world offers its possibilities.
In 2006, when I purchased my fifth book, Helen M. Stevens, I was once again amazed at the beauty, lifelike, exciting, and finished embroidery projects that were filmed and included in the book. There are five master classes in the book, but if we want to imitate, then more complete projects and notes on how to get a picture of the realism and interest of each theme. I decided to send an email to Ms. Stevens. In my email, I told her that I admire her work. I asked her if she would subcontract the actual embroidery work to someone she had already trained. She replied that she had done all the embroidery. She accepts each commissioned project and, like any other artist, completes the entire artwork herself.
This is Helen M. Stevens' website address: http://www.fritillary.co.uk/
If you press About us on her website, you can read about Ms. Stevens. Long-term, focused embroidery art achievement journey.
There are many techniques to learn: radial opus plumarium, stratigraphic radial opus plumarium, directional opus plumarius, diagonal sutures and a few voids - just the ones I want to conquer. These are some of the techniques that Helen Stevens perfected so that her bird embroidery and feathers, cat fur, blossoming flowers - anything - can look so real and exciting.
Helen Stevens ' work on display in many amazing places in the UK and abroad. Before developing her, she read and researched herself to get the knowledge she needed. 'Signature' technology. She understands the history of embroidery. She has been an embroidery artist for 25 years, and I dare say she is the most abandoned embroidery in the UK. She is a member of the Association of Women Artists. Her art is hanging at the British Museum and the Palace of Westminster!
She mainly uses silk thread. She explained in the book why it is important to use silk, but she sometimes uses cotton and special threads.
Helen M. Stevens emphasizes in each of her books that we can and should create our own embroidery designs, not just using her ideas - once we master the stitching technique and the color wheel. She is a true artist, an extraordinary embroidery artist.
If I imagine that one of my granddaughters inherited the heirloom oil painting one day, then I look very realistic, took me two hours to paint, and then I remembered the same granddaughter, instead of opening the package with embroidery. Completed - the same theme, no matter what it is - I spent 20 or 30 hours creating it, it looks absolutely true in every detail - I don't know; maybe it's just me - but I think the embroidery is more refined.
I am happy to admit that I am the daughter of my mother.
