Portrait in technics of a countable cross on the Competition Spring 2016, embroidery
I made this portrait of my friend from start to finish, starting from creating the pattern and ending with the embroidery.
The pattern was developed in Pattern Maker Pro - a special program that helps to convert any picture into a cross stitch pattern.
Of course, I had to process the image inPhotoshop, and then edited in the program itself, so that there were no single counted crosses and unnatural shades. As a result, I got a very convenient and readable pattern, according to which I began to sew the portrait.
During the embroidery process, I also had to make some adjustmentsseveral adjustments. I especially sweated over the skin tone of the face. But in the end it turned out that I and the birthday girl herself, who was given the portrait for her anniversary, liked. For anyone who wants to make their own patterns, I recommend starting with simpler pictures to learn how to correctly select shades of floss and eliminate runs, which should not be in professional embroidery.
