A selection was made from Image 13 of the colour studies of the tree trunk on which to base my colour stitchery.
Now, looking again at Image 35 just before I press the publish button, I can’t see the orange I’d seen in the paper printout used when doing my samples, so I’ve added a close up of the printout I used (Image 35A).
So that’s quite interesting: my samples are based on what an Epson printer thought the colours were! I should have used the original colour study.
A group of stranded cottons was chosen.
Encroaching Gobelin Stitch and three strands of stranded cotton in various colours.
Ridge Stitch and three strands of just one colour in the needle, the overlapping of the different coloured stitches merged the colours.
Pineapple Half Drop Stitch and up to three strands of different coloured threads in the needle.
Cashmere Diagonal Stitch and one strand of space dyed rayon thread.
