The art of embroidery has a richest history, as well as many different embroidery techniques.
The most familiar is embroidery with smooth and cross. In school in the labor lessons, we embroidered roses in the Rococo technique, I remembered about them quite recently, when I was preparing for Easter, I decorated with such roses, decorated with jute.
And fifteen years ago I met the embroidery in the technique of tapestry. My girlfriend owns her masterfully, she taught to embroider even a small son. These were amazing paintings hanging on the walls of the house, beautifully framed, I would not even guess what, if I had not been told. And in my understanding, tapestry was called all these Divandeks and bedside mats, which used to be taken from Germany and becoming the owner of such a deficit was very prestigious. I never liked these things, but the embroidery caused delight.
By the way, about tastes. I will not argue about them, so as not to disturb the popular wisdom, but as at one time the embroidery deployed on the oldest mods. In childhood it seemed that embroidered things were rustic, not trendy. Who was not young - was not stupid! Now you need to save money to buy decent clothes with embroidery.
Good, if you own the embroidery technique perfectly. It is possible to decorate homework from textiles. But if you really want, you can try this spiral embroidery. Along the pictures, everything is clearly visible and understandable.
