Easter embroidery

Easter cross stitch is a very old tradition. Embroidered towels adorned the Easter baskets, in which they put pysankas, cakes and other delicacies. Without an embroidered towel, the Easter basket was not completely finished.

For embroidery towels are always used two colors: black and red. Although some works can be seenCrosses of white color. Also, the craftsmen themselves created ornaments that would be as good as possible to display the celebration of Easter. Even now, Easter can be embroidered towels, but still many prefer to work on small pictures that will be directly related to this holiday.

Easter embroidery can be of any complexity. Depending on who will be embroideringpicture, you can choose suitable ornaments for you. As the first Easter embroidery for a child, small works that are not very difficult will work fine. To such works it is possible to carry embroidered Easter eggs decorated with unusual ornaments.

By Easter you can embroider not only pysanka, but also small miniatures that will reflect the traditions of the national celebration. On such miniatures most often depict people and animals, next to which are the attributes of Easter: pysanki, cakes, candles and, of course, the letter reduction of HB.

Easter cross-stitch embroidery can reflect not only our Orthodox traditions, but also Catholic traditions. We all know that in the Catholic countries the main attribute of Easter is the Easter rabbit, which brings in his basket a variety of chocolate eggs. Such Easter embroidery is also becoming very popular with us. These pictures depict cute rabbits with krashenkami.

The complexity of embroidery Easter pictures can be any. You can only use multi-colored threadmulina, but the embroidery, supplemented with other materials, looks much more beautiful and attractive. So, Easter embroidery, decorated with beads and ribbons, looks very unusual. And to create bizarre embroidery effects you can use different stitches: French knots and a seam back needle. In this case, all additional elements should be embroidered only after the work with the main cloth has been completed.

You should also pay attention to the fabric with which you will work. Traditionally for Easter embroidery usedhomespun linen cloth. But it's very difficult to work with her. Of course, you can impose a special canvas, which then you pull out after the end of the embroidery. But still, for embroidery with a cross, it is best to use the canvas intended for this. It is not only easy to work with, but you can also choose the dimensions that suit you. If you expect that you will embroider not only you, but your child, for him take a canvas of a larger size. It's much easier to work with, and your eyes will not get tired too much.

But even in spite of what kind of complexity you choose for yourself, do not forget that You can only embroider in a good mood. If you are tired or do not want to embroider, do notget to work. It's not that you can be wrong somewhere, but that you are passing your energy and mood to your picture. If you give the picture a bad energy, then it will not look very good. It will be like pushing you away from yourself. Always try to work only in a good mood, and then your embroidery will be appreciated by all your loved ones.
