About the final project for: Drawing with Thread

Thread embroidered drawing

“Now we are going to review the key phases of the project so that you can share it with the Domestika community. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Reference image Select the image you want to embroider. Here you can see mine and you can use it for your project, but you can also use a different one if you prefer.

Pattern and transfer Make the pattern of that drawing you have chosen and trace it on the fabric you are going to work on.
Assembly Assemble your fabric over the hoop, securing the excess at the back. This way you will have everything ready to embroider.
The base Begin to make the base of points, identifying the different areas on paper.
Dark parts Observe the darkest parts and, with the help of more points, saturate the black areas that are observed more.
Details Make all the important details of your embroidery with short lines.
Corrections Next, outline and correct the parts of your embroidery that need more contrast.
Framed Finally, disassemble, frame in a special frame, sign your work of art and smile for the photos!
The time has come for you to share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that led you to it. I'm looking forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and as much as my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. See you in the forum!”
