\"Drawing<\/a>

Drawing Design<\/p><\/div>\n

I bought the turquoise pashmina with the intention of working one of the Stitch-Off<\/a> designs on it, but as I was playing around with colours, I had a sudden thought…<\/p>\n

It’s an absolutely gorgeous faience colour, so why don’t I choose colours inspired by my Dreams of Amarna<\/a> project. And while I’m about it, create a design inspired by those patterns I’ve been playing with…<\/p>\n

\"That<\/a>

That famous bust of Nefertiti<\/p><\/div>\n

In the end I’ve decided to take my inspiration from that famous bust of Nefertiti, discovered by Ludwig Borchardt<\/a> in 1912. It would therefore have been known to Mary Chubb. This picture is a Creative Commons-licensed image I found online, but in this particular case, all I wanted it for was to check on the distribution of small and large segments and colours.<\/p>\n

So that’s garnet or carnelian coloured sections, lapis-coloured sections and jade-coloured sections, all outlined in gold. In this case, I don’t want to use metallic thread, so the gold will be rendered in golden-yellow.<\/p>\n

I’ve been working on making a design printing and transferring board, so I pinned out the end of the pashmina I want to embellish on the board, and simply drew straight lines as a guide.<\/p>\n

Then I had a wonderful time fishing out jewel-coloured silk threads.<\/p>\n

All I need now is some idea of the stitches I intend to use!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
