Historical Embroidery News...

On the shores of St Nick: an update

8/2/2021

5 Comments

 
Creating a 10-week academic online embroidery course has taken up most of my time. This means that other embroidery projects have been on hold for many months. With the start of the new year, I wanted to mend my ways and make sure that I spend an hour or so stitching on other projects each day. Since 1-1-2021, I was successful on six days. Oops! Nevertheless, I made some progress on the cope hood "On the shores of St Nick" which I started at the end of March 2019 and which lay dormant all of 2020. You can read through earlier blog posts on the project here. Let's have a look at what the project looks like now!
Picture
Currently, I am working on filling in the beach around the lettering. I am using the spun version of the silk for most of the beach. This silk is duller in appearance and perfect for dry sand. For the wet sand of the strandline, I am using the shiny flat silk version of the same colour. The effect is quite subtle but forms a nice transition into the blue flat silk of the water.
Picture
When all the sand has been filled in around the lettering, I will add French knots around the outline of the letters. It will then look like somebody wrote in the sand. I will probably also add some darker outline on the shadow side of the lettering to make them stand out some more.
Picture
And this is what the project currently looks like. You see a 30cm ruler at the top so you have an idea of its size. You probably wonder why I am working right to left. That's due to the fact that I was unexpectedly being filmed whilst starting the project. And since goldthreads are so much more interesting than silk threads, I was asked to make a start on the golden frame. So, when you turn the frame 180 degrees, I was working from left to right. As long as I keep protecting the stitching with tissue paper, I should be alright.

Now let's hope I can show you some more progress when we revisit this project in a couple of weeks' time!

How lovely your project looks - no wonder it has had to wait for a while, with all your other projects and the coronavirus on top of that. I look forward to seeing it grow! Take care, hope you are well, and happy stitching!

Thank you Marina! Yes, we are doing fine. I just wished I could visit two important embroidery exhibitions ...

How nice to see St Nick back again!
The sand is very interesting - the colours are being mixed up quite a lot, and yet they look quite balanced - not a regular pattern at all.
I wish I could see the difference between the shiny silk & the flat silk.
And I think your intentions of using french knots and shading on the lettering will be wonderfully effective.

I wish I could do your gold course, but it doesn't seem possible for me currently. I will keep watching anyway.

Best wishes - keep yourself and your family well.

Thank you Elaine! Yes, the difference between the two silks is quite subtle once stitched. However, you do see the difference in real-life.

It's good to see St Nick again, and I love the subtlety of the change from shiny to slightly matte silk - a great way to make the difference felt rather than seen!
