Author MK: Love Voronin.
I quote the author MK !!!
Where does inspiration come from? Here is a story about how I got into an amazing place where the silk treasures lie under the legs. Most people who are not connected with felt will simply be shaved by their shoulders or pass by, and I found a big chamber of silk multicolored ribbons. They were very different in density, structure, weave. I immediately saw in them the garden, full roses.
To grow roses you need patience, but after all attracts the result? Difficulties do not stop, and this time we will conduct an experiment on working with silk ribbons of different density, on the example of a small skirt trapezium.
To work, we will need: wool Merino 18 microns - about 80 grams; 20 grams of silk fibers; Cutting silks of various density - about 150 grams.
The wool layout is assumed very thin, one vertical layer (but with horizontal allowances on one side) to the coquette line (6-7 cm above). Here the layout will be horizontal. Open edges Strengthen the additional layer of width into one passm, as usual:
As a basis, we use silk fibers. They are also laid out vertically and wet warm water with soap so that they are not figured.
Slightly rub the basis, preparing the cloth for further work:
We begin the layout of silk flowers, leaving a small distance between the ribbons. In the process of felting, it will decrease, making a flower more textured and expressive, but at the same time light:
You need to show patience of having silent ribbons until light veins appear on the surface.
Cover the pattern with a film and turn over.
We continue the layout: first silk fibers; Welcome and bending the allowances.
We decide the wool according to the scheme, wet warm water and slightly carry:
Between the flowers, we leave some distance - in the future it will need:
So, the canvas is ready for further work, but do not hurt to wrap in a roll - we continue to pull it manually.
Possible assistance of technical means:
Pay special attention to bend. We carry them out so that there are no chances.
When you feel that all the flowers are already tightly sitting in their places - you can shoot a pattern.
Rolling in a roll in different directions; Soak the product inside out:
You can respect a skirt until readiness, but I have other plans. I left the product slightly disadvantaged, dried, dried it; To add expressiveness to colors using a sewing machine.
Use a special laptice for embroidery. We remove the tissue of the fabric feed and we flash the straight line around the perimeter of the entire flower.
Armed with scissors, cut the distance between roses, and something even in the floweries themselves.
We continue to felting now before final readiness. Scam and sealing cuts.
So, the skirt is ready, but it needs a lining.
I used a batter and lace, poured lightning and joined the lining with the skirt.
The work is completed and you can sum up. Check algebra harmony.
The single-layer layout assumes a large shrinkage in the direction of the length of the fibers; Therefore, before starting work, make a small calculation. In our case, we received a 30% shrinkage in width and 40% shrinkage on the length of the template.
k uv.dl. = 110/66 ~ 1.67 that corresponds to 40%
k uvshire. = 92/64 ~ 1.43 that corresponds to 30%
As a result of the experiment, I received a unique and unique thing and was convinced that with this reception you can create a variety of canvas; As in Kaleidoscope, changing the whole picture with one hand movement.
