This time, I\u00b4m experimenting with the contrasts of a negative vs a positive image. As in old-fashioned photo-film. I embroidered this face with white silk thread on white silk organza and white tulle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19784\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_7780-450x448-1.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_7780\" width=\"450\" height=\"448\"><\/p>\n<p>You can certainly see the shapes and you understand that it\u00b4s a face, but there\u00b4s not much personality &amp;nbsp;there. The brain doesn\u00b4t really want to translate the negative image into a positive one. But once I hold it up against the light, the white thread turns into shades of dark, and the charming smile of my niece appears!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19785\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_7781-450x544-1.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_7781\" width=\"450\" height=\"544\"><\/p>\n<p>Notes to self: don\u00b4t cut the organza until I\u00b4m finished with the embroidery, to avoid the fabric loosening along the edges. And make sure the fabric is tightly held by the frame, so the fabric&amp;nbsp;doesn\u00b4t \u201cbubble\u201d when the water-soluable fabric is washed away.<\/p>\n<p>This negative \u2013 positive effect I think will look very interesting in front of a window, as a curtain-panel. I\u00b4ll have to experiment some more with this, and see how I can make it work.<\/p>\n<p>                       <!--for paginate posts--><\/p>\n<div class=\"postspace\">\n\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<!--all options over and out--><\/p>\n<p>\t<!--include comments template--><\/p>\n<p><!-- You can start editing here. --><\/p>\n<p>        <!--do not delete--><\/p>\n<p><!--single.php end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u00b4m back working with lace and freestyle machine embroidery again.
