Floral Blackwork Lady
BLACKWORK PATTERN DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs
Like cross stitch, Blackwork is a counted thread technique, with stitches represented on a grid. A majority of stitches are backstitch, with some cross stitch filling certain areas.
This is a portrait of young girl in bloom. Viewed in profile, she is admiring a rose, no dowubt enjoying its scent.The young lady is dressed in a sheath dress, with bare shoulders. The pattern of the fabric alternates bands of black cross stitch with intricate blackwork motifs.
Unlike the very linear dress, the body of the young woman is all soft curves. His hair is elegantly tied up, a few loose strands hanging freely. The face is exquisitely rendered and full of tenderness.
The stitch piece requires a little bit of know-how and precision work. If you have never tried stitching a Blackwork pattern, but cross-stitching has no secrets for you, why not get started? The model is small and perfect for experimenting the technique.
The chart comes with an extensive Stitching Guide detailing all stitches including fractional stitches.
