<\/a><\/p>\nYou will definitely need a hoop, they will ensure accuracy and comfort in work. The canvas or base must be tightly stretched, then the beads will lie one to one, and it will be easier for you to recreate the pattern. You can work in this technique with any fabrics, taking them as a basis, but preference, especially for creating complex works, should be given to high-quality, dense and elastic canvas.<\/p>\n
Experienced embroiderers have their own arithmetic. To make the work flawless, they choose a canvas at the rate of 55 cells per 10 square meters. centimeters. Such proportions allow you to create an absolutely even drawing, without gaps or other errors. Canvas, if desired, can be given additional rigidity, for example, by treating it with a thin layer of PVA glue.<\/p>\n
The choice of beads also requires a special approach. The best, despite the many offers, is Czech or Japanese. It is made of colored, both transparent and frosted glass or plastic, the beads are flawlessly calibrated in size, and their color range is amazing. Plus, you can be sure that your work will look great for decades to come.<\/p>\n The next step is the choice of threads. It is best to take fairly thin, easily passing, and into the eye of a thin needle, and through the hole of the beads – but strong, because they will have to "hold" the weight of the finished work. Regular reinforced sewing threads are excellent for such purposes. If you use transparent beads in your work, be sure to match them with tone-on-tone threads.<\/p>\n After such preparation, you can safely proceed to creativity.<\/p>\n See examples of beadwork in the photo:<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite the apparent complexity, only two types of stitches are used in this type of needlework, which even the one who first took a needle in his hands can master.<\/p>\n The arch stitch is very easy to make. The thread with a knot must be fixed on the wrong side and brought to the front side of the work. Pick up three or four beads on the needle and fasten them to the canvas, bringing the needle from the front side to the wrong side. Stepping back a couple of millimeters, bring the needle back to the front side and repeat the stitch.<\/p>\n It allows you to create a free and even texture of the work, as well as with its help it is easy to change color combinations.<\/p>\n The "attached" stitch is no less simple. Beads – their color and quantity depend on the pattern – are strung on a thread and one at a time, with very small stitches, are attached to the canvas. In this way, it turns out to achieve a clear reproduction of the picture, even in the smallest details and subtle color transitions.<\/p>\n Bead embroidery technique requires compliance with certain rules. For example, a work can be read from both the top and bottom edges. How exactly is a matter of personal preference, but by no means from the central fragments. You need to move strictly along the horizontal rows, strictly observing the rule: one bead per one cell of the canvas. To get the perfect result, you need to constantly check with the scheme, in drawings with rich colors.<\/p>\n The thread in the work can be fixed in two ways. Either at the end of each row with the help of a knot on the wrong side, or by stretching it again through the entire embroidered row and securing it from the wrong side at its beginning. The second method is especially in demand if you create decorative interior items or large-sized works.<\/p>\n Each time, starting a new work, even experienced craftswomen ask themselves the question – will it turn out beautifully? This, of course, requires skills and experience, but no less important is the choice of scheme, plot and vision of the result that you want to get.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth starting with ready-made schemes, the volume of interesting plot sentences that exist today is able to satisfy any fantasy. Landscapes, still lifes and portraits are presented in a wide variety of styles. Pay attention to the patterns for working with a cross – great for working with beads.<\/p>\n Today, you can easily purchase ready-made embroidery kits. In addition to all the necessary materials, they also include detailed instructions – they are readily used by beginners. But to create a great work, often only a well-designed and calculated scheme is enough. One of the ways to get it is to use programs for creating beadwork patterns, of which there are many on the Internet today. They differ in details, but the principle of their work is the same, any image – from a reproduction of a world-famous canvas to your own photograph, can be "translated" into a diagram. The only drawback of this method is the difficulty of selecting the necessary shades of beads; even if there is a ready-made scheme, it is better to select it individually.<\/p>\n You can also create beautiful beadwork according to your own sketch. But for this you will have to independently not only carefully draw, but also calculate the scheme in detail. If you are good at drawing, this will be difficult for you. To do this, the scheme must be applied to a regular tracing paper and strengthened on the canvas.<\/p>\n Paintings in this technique are the first step to true mastery, it is worth starting such work, having mastered the basics of technology and the ability to select colors to perfection. Nevertheless, even those who have recently become familiar with this needlework technique can do large-scale work.<\/p>\n Ready-made schemes give excellent results, especially if you choose beads for them yourself – this way you can achieve unique color schemes. Pictures are created in completely different techniques, covering the entire canvas with beads, or using it as a background and one of the key color schemes. Original canvases can be created by combining patterns from beads of different sizes. But to create a picture of any complexity, they use the same two basic stitches – “arched” and “attached”.<\/p>\n To create a canvas, you will definitely need a hoop, and their size must be much larger than the size of the intended work. It is strongly not recommended to drag the canvas in the process of work, therefore it is better to immediately set the finished volume and a small additional space. In addition, the picture will need to be framed, and for this you need to take into account the allowances around the perimeter of the canvas. You need to start work from the top or bottom edge and carefully align the horizontal rows, watching the thread tension. The beads will "behave" in the finished work perfectly if you secure the rows by passing the thread through them twice.<\/p>\n Experienced embroiderers advise choosing the plot very carefully, especially for the first works. The picture embroidered with beads is a very bright, accent piece of interior. Therefore, it is worthwhile to calculate in advance not only what will be depicted on it, but where it will hang.<\/p>\n An icon created by hand has the most powerful energy and can become a real talisman, both for you and for those to whom you present it. But its creation will require good skills and at least a little experience – the reproduction of faces and small details is considered the most difficult in terms of craftsmanship. It is not worth choosing such work as a trial or the first one, it is better to first work out the techniques of working on simple schemes, with large details and simple color schemes.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\nBeadwork technique: from the first stitch<\/h2>\n
