Beautiful Magazine, entirely devoted to embroidery of Assisi, a style of embroidery elegant, aristocratic, reminiscent of the courts of the Middle Ages. It 'a technique that the opposite of cross stitch: indeed to get this embroidery should be filled all the space around the figure embroidered, embroider what the "background" filling it with crosses, and leave blank the actual design, contornandolo from one point he wrote almost always black. This way you get a "negative effect", the figure you will see appear white on a colored background. And just the color that characterizes this embroidery: it is used a single color for each embroidery, but this color can also be very lively, and chromatic effects that can be achieved can be very determined using cobalt blue, bright green, pink ancient, turquoise etc., or become very elegant and refined when they are used shades of brown, ecr, ocher, dark blue, or red blood, which make you look like a vintage embroidery work. The characteristic patterns of this embroidery are the Greek, the griffins, dragons, sometimes very complex, eagles, peacocks, but also geometric floral motifs, or arabesques with scrolls. This "Special" features beautiful works done on the corners of tablecloths, pillows, curtain borders. I like to browse this publication because I feel suddenly catapulted into a bygone era: these embroideries lead the mind to the Medieval Castles, heraldry, increasingly populated by mythical creatures and symbols ... I am fascinated by this art, ancient and refined. Cinzia. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] |
