In this master class we will work onorange tree. This work is interesting because it combines several different techniques. The result is a rather bright composition that decorates the interior and brings joy to others. Materials for work:

clay modeling terracotta Keraplast;
acrylic paints (red, white and blue);
acrylic fabric paints “Decola”;
ribbon for embroidery satin 3 mm orange -5 m;
ribbon for embroidery silk 10 mm green melange-5 m;
ribbon for embroidery silk 7 mm light green melange -5 m;
silk embroidery ribbon 4 mm blue and dark blue – 1 m each;
threads of a mulina (yellow, light green, dark green, melange pink);
threads "Iris Kirovskie" light gray;
melange brown threads “Gamma”;
wooden beads 7 mm – 23 pcs.;
white linen (tablecloth) – 25 x 35 cm (embroidery base);
flax for blanks – 15 x 15 cm.

Tools for work:

Stack for modeling;
pink wax crayon (or pastel oil pink);
synthetic brush №6;
palette;
pure water;
needle with a wide eye and a sharp tip “tapestry sharp No. 18, No. 24”.

Tinting the base First, transfer the diagram onto the base using black copy paper. Lightly moisten the base with a spray bottle of clean water.Prepare mustard paint in the palette.To do this, mix red and green in equal proportions, then gradually add yellow until you get the desired shade. Add water until the paint becomes liquid. Having collected a little ready-made paint on the brush, paint the lower part of the diamond (on a damp cloth!). Dry the base. Use pink chalk to paint the borders around the perimeter of the diamond. Along the perimeter of the borders we lay a stem stitch using 6 strands of floss (pink melange). We embroider an orange tree with ribbons. 1. Transfer the outline of the wicker flowerpot to an additional piece of flax. The flowerpot is woven with “Iris” threads. brown melange shade. We begin to embroider from the vertical rods of the basket, which we will then braid. We embroider in two threads. Closer to the side of the rods we place them a little closer to each other than in the middle.2. We braid the basket from the bottom.We bring the needle and thread in the lower corner of the basket to the front side and pass it under the first vertical guide. We work with the thread, without going to the wrong side, then – over the second, then – under the third and thus alternate. When we reach the second side, we move the needle and thread inside out, making a puncture exactly on the line.3.We perform the reverse row by pulling the needle exactly the opposite way. That is, if in the first row the thread passed under the guide, then we pass it over the guide, etc. We cut out the finished basket along the contour, leaving an allowance of 5 mm.4.We pull an orange satin ribbon 3 mm wide into the needle in the same way as a regular thread, having previously cut the ribbon at an acute angle. Stepping back a little from the edge, we pull the needle through the tape.5. We pierce the tape with the point of the needle and pull the needle through.6. Pull the needle and ribbon through the middle of the bead, leaving a tail the size of half a bead on the outside. We make a full turn with the tape, catching the tail inside the bend.7.Each new turn should slightly overlap the previous one so as to hide the bead under the ribbon. Having completely wrapped the bead, we cut the tape diagonally, leaving a tail 4-5 cm in size. We need 23 of these blanks.8.Having made the hem, we sew the basket along the contour using hidden stitches. In the upper part of the basket we make an ellipse with a single thread stem stitch using Iris threads, completing the upper part of the basket. Using the same threads we make underlay stitches for the trunk (12-15), the size of half the width of the basket in its upper part.9. We wrap a looped seam around the trunk with “Iris Kirovskie” threads. gray shade in two threads. We embroider the branches with the same threads in two threads using a simple straight stitch.Advice If the top and bottom of the basket are not rightvery carefully, sew a stem stitch in two threads along the bottom and top of the basket, covering all the irregularities. 10. In the lower part of the trunk, we embroider grass in 6 threads of floss using a Turkish seam. We use two colors: light green and dark green. To make a Turkish seam, we start embroidering from the front part. Leaving the tail on the front part, we make a small loop (no more than 2-3 mm). Using sharp scissors, cut off the long tails at the level of the loops.eleven.We pull a green ribbon 4 mm wide into a needle and bring it to the front side in the middle of the crown. Alternating between a straight stitch and a ribbon stitch, we embroider several leaves of different sizes next to the trunk. In the middle of the crown we use a 10 mm wide tape (green melange), and closer to the edge we take a 7 mm wide tape (light green).12. At the same time we place our oranges.To do this, we bring the empty needle to the front side with the eye on the face. We insert the tail of the ribbon into the needle and pull it inside out, securing it with a simple white thread. Thus, we fill the entire crown, gradually embroidering leaves and laying oranges over the entire area of the crown.13.We embroider blue flowers using a straight stitch, and use a “French knot” to sew the buds next to each other. in one wave. To perform a straight stitch, place the needle with the ribbon in the middle of the flower, melt the ribbon at the base and puncture with the needle no more than the width of the ribbon, without tightening the ribbon too much and maintaining the volume. We fill the core of the flower with a “French knot” yellow floss in 6 threads.Bas-relief sculpting Transfer the drawing of the birdhouse tocardboard. Break off a small piece of modeling paste (about 3 cm in diameter), knead it in your hands so that the paste becomes very soft and pliable, like plasticine. If the paste cracks, moisten your hands with a damp cloth and knead again.When the paste is ready for modeling, fill it withthe entire surface of the birdhouse to a thickness of 3 mm. Use a stack to level the surface and cut off the excess along the border. We make a hole in the birdhouse and several strips on the roof, simulating boards. We make a stand for the birdhouse from a toothpick, attaching it to the still wet top part. Leave to dry on a flat surface for 4-6 hours. After drying, you can paint the surface of the birdhouse with acrylic paints and then varnish it. Birdies can be performed conditionally. Roll a small ball (6-7 mm), flatten it a little, pinch one side, simulating a beak, and the other – tail. On the side, draw a wing and an eye in a stack. Glue the finished bas-reliefs with universal construction glue. Ribbon stitch Holding with your free hand, bring the ribbon to the front side. Straighten with the end of the needle at the base. We lay the tape in the desired direction (it should not be too tight), and make a puncture in the middle. Slowly pull the needle inside out, holding itHold the tape so that it does not twist while tightening. We form a large free bend. To sew leaves along the edge of the crown, we perform a ribbon stitch with a sharp end. To do this, when forming a bend, tighten the tape a little more until a sharp tip is formed. Tip To make the ribbon stitch voluminous, I advise you to first place an additional needle under the ribbon. This way you will fix the volume and get a good stitch. French knot We bring the tape (thread) onto the face, stretch it, positioning it away from us. Holding the ribbon in one hand, place the needle on it and use the tip of the needle to make a turn with the ribbon. Holding the tape, we bring the tip of the needle to the base next to the exit point, and move the needle inside out. Tighten the remaining tape inside out untilnodule formation. When making a French knot, make sure that the ribbon (thread) does not wrap around the needle too tightly. The threads should be slightly loose, just enough so that the eye of the needle can pass through. That's all!
