Original cross stitch: swans and landscapes

Cross stitch can be a beautiful landscape. Swans on a pond or a silvery river are depicted against a background of green plants, flowers, next to houses, a bridge. It is fascinating to embroider such a riot of colors, but sometimes it is difficult to pick up all the shades of threads, they may need fifty or more. The picture is bright and rich.

The picture is completely filled with a cross from left to right, starting from the top edge of the canvas.

It is better to embroider individual elements as a whole so as not to confuse the colors of the threads and to follow the pattern accurately, avoiding errors in counting. A frame is not required for such a picture.

Cross stitch: swans and swan pairs

It is known that swans choose a mate for life and are capable of committing suicide if they lose one. The image of a swan pair symbolizes loyalty, devotion and love. Such embroideries were in the homes of our grandmothers and are also popular with modern craftswomen.

Swan pairs are presented in sets:

• Black swans on the pond;
• Swan fidelity;
• Swan couple.

Swans are easier to embroider because of the fewer thread colors used. It is better to start with such works.

For example, the beautiful painting "Swan Faithfulness" in blue and white. The swan, spreading its wings, bravely protects its swan. The embroidery is performed using the counting cross technique.

The canvas is taken in a pastel color to highlight the snow-white swans. For flowers and rings, bright shades of thread are used, with a shimmer.

Sequence of work:

• Swans are embroidered first;
• Then the flowers;
• Last but not least, the rings.

You can make a beautiful inscription with a decorative stitch or satin stitch.

The most famous of them:

Everyone remembers Pushkin's fairy tale, which describes the swan princess. There is a painting by Vrubel "The Swan Princess", which is taken as the basis for embroidery. Delicate, mysterious, sophisticated. To embroider such a picture is a real art.

Swan Castle is another embroidery with an interesting plot. It depicts the most beautiful castle in Germany, the Neuschwanstein swan castle.

The history of this castle is connected with a medieval legend about a knight and a beautiful princess, turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer. The witchcraft of these places never ceases to fascinate. Yunona has produced a set for embroidery "Swan Castle".

An embroidered pair of swans often decorates wedding accessories: tablecloths, napkins, towels. As a gift to the newlyweds, you can make an embroidery "Wedding Swans". It depicts two swans touching their heads to each other, flowers and the invariable attribute of a wedding - wedding rings.

If you have been doing embroidery for a long time, then you probably have a rich collection of paintings and cross-stitched compositions. Now is the time to move on to the next level of embroidery. It's time to create three-dimensional paintings depicting beautiful landscapes, picturesque still lifes and beautiful portraits. The schemes for creating the big picture are varied. There are many directions of embroidered paintings, one of the most popular is animal embroidery.

In every house there is an embroidered portrait of an Ussuri tiger or a troika of horses, cute cats and dogs, as well as all the beloved swans.

These beautiful birds are very loved by painters for their delicate and touching appearance. That is why embroiderers are so fond of them. Every self-respecting embroiderer considers it necessary to embroider a swan pair or a lonely swan on a pond. Our grandmothers used to decorate their homes with such paintings.

Cross stitch "Swan fidelity" is very popular among needlewomen in our time. Such a reproduction symbolizes devotion and love, and has deep meaning.

Choose the pattern that you like and proceed with the selection of threads and fabrics. The best option for big work: floss or Gamma thread and Aida canvas 14 or 11.

Let's take a look at the most popular swan compositions.

A painting depicting a mother of a swan with ducklings will not leave anyone indifferent. It can be hung in the living room or in the children's room. To embroider this pattern, you will need 24 thread colors. The canvas for the picture is suitable in white or light blue. It will serve as a background for the embroidered design.

The embroidery floss is folded in half. The embroidery is completely performed using the full cross technique.

Start from the upper left corner - the tail of an adult bird. Then move on to the wings, neck and head. Then, alternately embroider the little ducklings and water lily leaves from left to right. Green sedge and water streaks are embroidered last.

Due to the light background, the painting requires a frame. A simple wood frame or a gilded and carved one will do. The picture will look great in a light interior or blue and blue.

Scenic landscape with swans on the water

For those who consider swan embroidery too boring, we suggest embroidering a landscape with a lake or a pond on which majestic and proud swans swim.

The swan pair ennobles the picture and gives the effect of a vivid picture. On it you will find everything: lush greenery, and flowering shrubs, and a transparent river, and a cozy house, and a stone bridge. It will be very interesting to embroider such a variety. There are also disadvantages of this scheme - a large number of multi-colored elements makes it difficult to select threads. More than fifty shades are used in this painting. But the finished work pleases the eye with brightness and variety.

Due to the many small elements, you will need a small canvas: No. 11 or 10. A large number of painting colors can be selected from a series of DMC or Gamma floss threads according to the color matching table. The embroidery is done with double thread.

The picture requires full filling with a cross. Sewing starts from the upper left corner. Gradually, embroidering from left to right, work your way down to the bottom edge of the painting. If you start to embroider an element, embroider it completely so as not to get confused in colors and not to shift individual elements due to miscalculations.

The picture is very original, therefore it does not require mandatory framing. You can hang it on the wall, either without a frame or in it. The frame should be thin and neutral in color.

Wedding swans

The swan pair has long served as a symbol of mutual loyalty and devotion. Therefore, a swan pair traditionally decorated wedding attributes: tablecloths and napkins.

Swans, decorated with flowers and ribbons, were depicted as a couple in love. They gently hugged each other with their necks or pressed their heads against each other. The composition was crowned with a pair of wedding rings.

You can embroider such a picture as a wedding gift to close friends or relatives. Use a pastel canvas to keep the white swans from blending into the background.

Full cross stitching. If you want to embroider a beautiful lettering, you can apply satin stitching and various decorative stitches as you like.

Flowers and rings are embroidered with brightly colored threads. The canvas should not be very large. The threads are usually matte, but shimmer threads can also be used for flowers.

Start embroidering in swans: first the head and neck, then the body. Then a wreath of roses is embroidered from the left edge to the right. Wedding rings are embroidered last.

If you decide to embroider a wedding tablecloth or towel, take woven linen and silk threads in red and black. This will be enough. Swans are embroidered only along the contour. All that remains is to choose the embroidery step and find a suitable pattern for the towel.

Embroider swans for yourself and your friends. Give people a symbol of loyalty and tenderness.
