This type of decorative and applied artis called differently, but it is always clear. Thread design, thread graphics - this is the technique of isonit or image with thread. It is generally accepted that the technique arose in England in the 17th century and was a creative discovery of weavers. The first products were small boards with small nails and stretched threads. The result was an openwork pattern with strict geometric lines; ready-made boards with patterns decorated homes. Now this is primarily
or thick paper. As for finished products, the isonity technique is most often used for postcards, as well as bookmarks, covers and decorative panels.





Basic schemes


At first glance at the photo, many may think that
and/or cardboard - the task is incredibly difficult.Of course, as in any handicraft, beginners are unlikely to immediately be able to create an intricate motif or complex composition. However, there are only two basic work patterns: filling a corner and filling a circle. Those who already have some experience in this type of decorative and applied art will be able to easily see those same basic embroidery motifs in any product. So, in general, the technique can be considered relatively simple: it is no coincidence that in some countries of the world they seriously consider the possibility of studying isonit as part of the school curriculum, and in our country, circles for this type of handicraft are often organized in schools.

What is needed for embroidery izonityu

Those who sees the first time, a list ofmaterials and tools required for the job, may, perhaps, a little frightened. In fact, all the materials and tools are simple and certainly there will be in any house where at least occasionally something to sew, knit and embroider. Therefore, even a beginner training to work will not take long. First the tools:


  • To apply the pattern to the base, you need a pencil that is hard and well sharpened so that it leaves a clear and thin line;
  • Compasses - drawing perfect circles, which izoniti great multitude;
  • Ruler. Better if it will be transparent. For the training and performance of small embroidery motifs suitable line length of 15 cm, for the more difficult work - 30-centimeter;
  • For piercing holes require an awl (thick cardboard) and the needle (tailor pin) - for a more subtle framework;
  • Needles. May need different - it all depends on the basis of the density and thickness of thread, which performs embroidery. Here the choice depends more on personal preference and convenience;

  • A thimble can be quite useful for protecting your fingers from pricks, although not everyone likes to use one. However, for those just starting out, a thimble can be very useful;
  • Scissors. They need to be sharp, so as not to "hirsute 'ends trimmed threads. gold thread embroidery require additional scissors, as this type of yarns need a special approach;
  • Material to protect the working surface. Izon - this needlework, which is very uncomfortable to engage in weight. So, it needs to work surface, you need to protect not to scratch the needle or awl. Protection (substrate) can not be too thick sheet of foam, cork tiles, thick piece of linoleum or finally folded towel several times;
  • Clay (such as PVAc) or tape. When an individual motif embroidery is finished, the thread on the wrong side must be secured;
  • Stationery clips. They are needed to firmly attach motives schemes on the basis of prior to the piercing holes. Paper clips are not suitable, because they can move or deform the substrate. But the clips, which operate on the principle clothespeg, but it can be firmly fixed, fit perfectly.
  • Materials for izoniti have to examine in more detail.
    Warp
    One of the best options for the base isdense, uniform colored cardboard. For beginners, the choice of base is especially important: in low-density cardboard, the holes punched for embroidery can break through and join with neighboring ones under the influence of thread tension. Embroidery with wire will require especially thick and dense cardboard. It is better to embroider on velvet paper after gaining some experience: such a base has a relatively low density, and to embroider on it, you need to be able to accurately select the thickness and tension of the thread. But even works on velvet paper sometimes look simply luxurious.
    Some masters use it as a basewatercolor paper. This material has a high density and interesting texture. There is an opinion that wool embroidery can be quite successful when working on watercolor paper. However, wool is most often rejected as a material for isoniti (more on that later).
    Threads
    Isoniti masters are almost unanimousIt is recognized that embroidery with floss or iris is the easiest and looks the best. These shiny threads look great in the finished product. However, there are some contradictions in the recommendations for choosing threads. For example, many believe that embroidery with woolen threads is possible only at the training stage. The same can often be heard about cotton embroidery. When pulled through the base, such threads can fray, fluff up, and the texture of the finished work will be fleecy and fuzzy. This is why embroidery with wool and cotton is considered an unsuitable option. In addition, the so-called fancy yarn is completely unsuitable for working in the isonit technique. For example, boucle or mohair are intended exclusively for knitting. And thin silk cords, often called chenille (another name is chenille), have a special twisted texture and are also not suitable for embroidery on cardboard. Moreover, there is a special handicraft technique for chenille.
    Embroidery with wire on cardboard is practiced quite rarely. If you want to work with this type of thread, it is recommended to choose thin and soft wire, otherwise the embroidery will simply not work.
    Twisted threads are considered ideal for work, regardless of the pattern, complexity and type of base.

    Initial training

    Embroidery on the cardboard requires the development of a total of twobasic techniques. This filling angle and fill the circle. Each of these techniques, in turn exists in many variants. The angle can be direct, blunt or sharp, as the reception range of the filling used for ovals. Partially filled corners and circles give the appearance of different arcs, curves and irregular shapes.
    Embroidery with wool, despite the controversial attitude towards this type of thread, is a great way to learn and practice. You can finally use up those boring yarn scraps.
    Filling the corner
    For beginners, the first mastered technique in isoniti should be filling the corner. Filling patterns may differ in the degree of the corner and the length of the sides, but there are general rules:

  • First we need to draw a cardboard any angle;
  • Each side of the angle be divided into equal segments and the same number of holes pierced;
  • At the top corner of the hole or puncture.
  • Embroidery angle starts from any point on the side opposite the apex. For the convenience of all the points you need to note the numbers: peak - 0, then the ends of the segments - on the rise.
    The photo diagram shows various options for filling the corner.
    Filling the circle
    A training option for beginners is a circle marked like a clock with numbers from 1 to 12. The work is done according to the following scheme:

    • 1 - 5 (front);
    • 5 - 6 (wrong side);
    • 6 - 2 (right side);
    • 2 - 3 (wrong side);
    • 3 - 7 (front side) and so forth.

    When filling yarns circle series"Plotted" chord. Schemes filling range can be different. A circle with a small number of holes will give a mesh pattern. With a large number of holes get filled with more and more complex visual pattern. Using the photo, you can easily figure out the filling of the circle.

    Decor

    When embroidery on cardboard is ready, place itIt can be different. The main thing - to hide it inside out. Previously all purl stitches must be glued or fastened with adhesive tape. If the product - it is a separate theme, it can be pasted on cardboard larger, so that the side of the formed frame. A card can be issued in the same way. You can use regular frames with glass. Tips on registration can be found at the many photos.
    Handicrafts using the isonit technique are great for both adults and children.
