Living Pictures by PANNA™ embroidered using animalistic satin stitch
Animals play a significant role in our life and we can hardly imagine our planet without them. From the ancient times people depict the world around them. So the separate genre – animal art – appeared. The main feature of this genre is the choice of object – an animal, bird, insect, etc. An animal artist can use a variety of materials; from paints to pencils and chalks and from clay to metal and marble. An animal artist can also work in different techniques; from painting and drawing to sculpturing and embroidering. One of the best techniques for animal embroidery is the animalistic satin stitch.
If you love animals and at the same time are fond of crafts, take a look at Living Picture kits by PANNA™. Animalistic satin stitch embroidery is the right choice for treating yourself.
Animalistic satin stitch is a unique embroidery technique allowing one to depict a realistic texture of animal’s fur or bird’s plumage as well as their colour. Finished picture looks so expressive and stunning that anyone seeing it for the first time would like to touch the animal. The picture looks so dimensional that it can become a centrepiece for any room.
Animalistic satin stitch has the same basic principle as an ordinary satin stitch: you are making the stitches of different length. There is a number of other techniques and stitches that may also be used in the design: straight stitch, long and short stitch, stem stitch and split stitch. An experienced crafter may also add other stitches and techniques of their own choice.
Carefully selected colours and hues of stranded cotton as well as the choice of stitches and techniques produce the close match to the natural appearance of animal’s fur or bird’s plumage.
It’s easy to learn and practice animalistic satin stitch with PANNA’s kits as they have the following advantages:
