Gosh Lyudmile, this is so beautiful. It is interesting to know 3 strands give such depth, it is so rich and vibrant.
It is gorgeous.

This is it, isn't it. Three strands give such wonderful coverage, but they leave the textile nature of the piece. (It's a thing in weaving, too: one is making a piece of cloth, a textile, which can be hard to remember sometimes.)Mabel Figworthy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 3:40 pm It's as though you could pick each and every bit of that wreath off the fabric - that's the result of your 3-strand stitching, I think, makes it very bold!

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
by the way, this is not my invention. Some pictures from famous designers demand 3 strands according to instructions. For example,
Cats, Books and Candle, by Donna Kooler's Studio instructed to stitch in 3, 2 and 1 strands. I especially liked their background made in full crosses in 1 strand.

An interesting idea to use 1-strand on the background. I'm presuming it does actually lend perspective?

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
Yes, Serinde, the bookcase beside the cats is in 1 strand full cross, so while you are stitching(this is very hard on my eyes for some reason), you see how the rest of the picture is "stepping forward"(books, plant, etc).

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
Must remember that trick.
Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
Beautiful finish! I remember when I first started stitching, I had a project that called for different strands for different objects. I don't remember exactly, but it called for 4,3,2,and 1 strand for different things. I think it probably was stitched on 10 or 14 ct aida. I'll have to see if I can find it in a box or drawer. I remember it mostly because of the 4 strand section which I think were leaves and the difficulty I had threading the needle. That was in the days that I didn't realize you could use more than 1 needle on a project .

Haven't we all learned a LOT from both experience (a very good teacher) and each other?

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
You would be surprised, how much I have learnt from the Forum, the English language included.
Now here is the reason for my being quiet. Another full day of stitching, and the towel will be finished. Cant wait.

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
There was a design called Owls in Flight ( or a similar name!) By Permin I think) That had 3 owls flying. The furthest away was in one thread and those closer were in 2 and then 3 strands of thread.rcperryls wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 4:45 pm Beautiful finish!

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
As you know, I did stitch a couple of designs in my life. But this towel is unusual. As you look at it, everything seems to be 3D, the flowers on the ends included. The designer did a great job. Sadly, the chart was published in a magazine without mentioning the name.

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
Of course it is finished in time and is totally AWESOME. I love the end pieces, most unusual and they really set the whole design off. WELL DONE

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
Great pieces! I’ve only completed one piece in 2020
Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
I love that design, it’s so clever with its use of colour and it really stands out to look so realistic.
Very nice stitching
