Cross-stitch embroidery: a selection of schemes
Content
The first harbingers of spring, as we know, arebirds. You can also bring the long-awaited warmth closer with the help of images of birds. You can use them to decorate curtains, walls after updating the kitchen, or cross-stitch birds and frame the work. They will look great on a branch or surrounded by lush greenery, if we are talking about overseas birds.
Embroidering a bird allows you to show off your richfantasy: not all needlewomen are guided by patterns found on the Internet or seen in thematic magazines; many of them create their own unique sketches, which are then passed on from mother to daughter.

Excellent composition, in the foreground of whichdepicts a bird on a rowan branch. The finished work will look good in the hallway or kitchen. Particular attention should be paid to the frame: it must be round, as originally intended. Not all schemes are as detailed as this one. You can even see the branches of the spruce standing in the background.
The work should begin with the embroidery of the maincharacter - a bird. For this you will need 3 main colors and several auxiliary ones that will help to work out all the details: individual feathers and shadows. The entire background is made in one color scheme: in cold winter tones. There are several bright elements in the form of white spots, probably personifying the sparkle of snow or the light of distant stars. The picture is quite simple, especially if you do it with a regular cross.

Parrots
Fans of exotic birds will most likely choose a firebird, toucan, parrot or other representative of hot southern countries as the main character of their picture.
Parrots surrounded by flowers with soft pinkpetals, create a light and at the same time languid atmosphere of a hot scorching day, where you can find coolness only in the shade among flowers and bright green plants. This work is not very difficult, but at the same time it has many details, and the complex play of color will force the needlewoman to interrupt her cross stitch many times.
The embroidery should start from the branch on which they sit.parrots. After that, work on all the leaves and flowers, and then move on to the parrots. The main background of the picture will be much easier to do if all the details on the foreground are embroidered. In the process of work, schemes are also very helpful, in which all the details are depicted down to the smallest detail.
The cage in the painting belongs rather to the backgroundplan than to the foreground. It can be left for last. It shows the play of light and shadow well. Thanks to this, it is easy to imagine the light from the hot sun, the rays of which touch the cage, but do not reach the parrots hiding in the shadows. The work is greatly simplified by the absence of the upper half of the background. It is left untouched: snow-white.

Bird in flowers
Not all paintings depict birds sitting onbranch. Often there are also such schemes in which birds are surrounded by flowers and colorful butterflies. Such works look lush, diverse and will appeal not only to lovers of birds, but also to admirers of flowers.
When embroidering this work it is recommended to movefrom the bottom up: from flowers to the bird and blue sky. On the branch with flowers, the light spots are repeated, so you don’t have to change the threads after working out each detail. Then you can embroider the bird and the blue background or in another order. There is no big difference, since the main elements have already been worked out. Your attention should be focused on the veins of the leaves and on the transition from light to shadow in the flower petals. All these seemingly unimportant details allow you to create a three-dimensional work, which as a result will not be very similar to the drawing from the scheme, since it will be difficult to distinguish it from a simple photograph.
