Hello Friends & Folk!
I hope you are enjoying following along on this tutorial/pictorial for my little Angel ~
today we are going to work on her ribbon and her dress...
grab your needle and lets go!
this is where we left off last time...
her face, hand and hair were done and I showed you how to add detail with your pencil:
DMC 647 {3 strands} will be used for her sleeve,
and 646 {3 strands} will be used for her skirt ~
again, using tiny split stitches, outline the sleeve...
once you have outlined the sleeve,
continue to fill in the area in the direction of the motif ~
you can see in the photo below,
and then I use my pencil to shade and define...
once the top portion of the ribbon is finished,
begin to stitch the lower portion the same way...
I love seeing my little stitches come to life when they're filling in a motif!
I love seeing my little stitches come to life when they're filling in a motif!
use your pencil once again to shade and outline...
Once the ribbon is finished, let's work on her shirt...
outline, fill in the direction of the motif,
then shade...
you can see in the photo below that I have used my pencil to divide the skirt into portions,
this helps me keep my stitches moving in the direction of the motif {in this case the skirt}
I'm working on the portion of her skirt that is 'above' the ribbon...
{and you can also see how I have once again used my pencil
to shade the ribbon in places to look like folds or shadows}
filling in the skirt, up & down...
in the drawn/divided sections ~
I will finish the skirt, then our next 'lesson' will be her shoes and remaining
holly leaves, bough and ornaments ...
I'll post on Facebook and Instagram when to look for Part 3 ~
Blessings from the Farm
