Edwardian Parrot
part 9, the tail
Here are the explanations and the pictures necessary to embroider the parrot’s tail.
Use the images to determine their placement. It’s on the complete photo that the nuances are the easiest to identify!
List of colors used to embroider this tail
3716, 963, 309, 315, and 221, 3799, 414, 415 (new colors)
First embroider the central vein with the color 3716 and the lateral veins with the color 3799. They are embroidered with spit backstitch1 thread.
Then fill the entire surface of the tail with long and short stitch and the color 415. When embroidering, it is necessary to take lightly on the vein lines to prevent them from being too sharp.
Hi Laurence
Miss seeing you and our embroidery friends on a Tuesday in your shop
I’m just finishing the last of the colourful leaves
So the arrival of the details of how to start working in the parrot are well timed
He looks magnificent and I hope I can choose my alternative colours to complete my version on nave fabric
Hello,
Miss you too. If it works as planed in Switerland, I will be able to open again with all the social distancing requested (no more then 3 ladies embroidering at the same time)but it is better then nothing.
I hope the border will soon be open again.
I am sure you will pick the right colors for the parrot.
I wish you a nice Sunday.
