Shu embroidery

The game lasts for three hours, starting at 02:30 and ending at 05:30.

After the official start of the competition, no one is allowed to walk around, whisper and exchange embroidery supplies.

After the work is completed, stay in place and wait for the judges to vote and comment. "

After Tang Yu finished talking about the rules of the game, he looked back at the big clock hanging on the wall in front of him. The hour and minute hands were exactly pointing to 02:30.

Along with the sentence that was waiting for the battle: "Time is up, the game begins!" sounded.

The door of the embroidery room was closed by the staff of the embroidery hall, not only to isolate the idlers, but also to reject the participants who were late for the competition.

The moment the door was closed, the embroiderers rushed to start their hands. Because it was a hand embroidery competition, except that everyone could bring their own base map, all embroiderers could only choose the most traditional way to sketch.

Use a pencil to draw on the embroidery surface according to the pattern and size of the base map.

This work should not be underestimated. Not only must the painting skills be paid attention to, but the strength must also be mastered. If it is light, the embroidery will not be seen clearly, and it is very easy to make mistakes.

If it is too heavy, it will cause the tip of the pen to scratch the embroidery surface, which will affect the subsequent embroidery effect.

Of course, there are also experienced embroiderers who don’t need to draw on the base material in proportion, but only need to outline the outline of the embroidered fabric, mark the difference between the color blocks and indicate the direction of the silk texture.

There are also more meticulous embroiderers who will mark the embroidery order on it to avoid mistakes during the embroidery process.

The competition lasted less than five or six minutes. In the huge embroidery room, there were nearly a hundred contestants, so quiet that only the sound of pen nibs could be heard.

Almost all the contestants, their eyes at this moment, can no longer accommodate anything other than the stretcher in front of them.

After Shen Chuqing fixed the base material on the stretcher, she looked up at the contestants around her. Compared with these embroiderers who had been immersed in embroidery all year round, Shen Chuqing's movements were obviously clumsy.

Picking up a pen here, just as she was about to draw a draft, the contestant on the left had already started to start sewing. The thread, as thin as a hair, seemed to have life, between her fingers and on the frame. , Shuttle in an orderly manner.

Shen Chuqing looked a little envious, and couldn't help but glance at the girl with long braids closest to her. With just one glance, her eyes were full of surprise, because the girl with long braids had officially entered the embroidery program and was in the process of making a base Lay out the positioning profile.

This speed is so fast that Shen Chuqing can't match it. Although she has learned embroidery since she was a child and knows a lot of stitches, she lacks systematic training. Compared with these embroiderers who have studied professionally for a long time, her disadvantages are immediately apparent.

Shen Chuqing looked at the incomplete base map that she temporarily drew on the stretcher frame, and then fell into deep thought as she looked at the base material, should she follow the procedure to draw the draft?
In fact, although the base map is incomplete, I have already had a clear composition in my mind, whether it is size or trend, I have already figured it out in my heart.

What Shen Chuqing should think about now is what kind of acupuncture techniques should be used. Although she learned a lot when she was young, her learning was rather messy.

It is more than enough to deal with ordinary embroidery works, but it can be brought here to participate in the competition, but there is no difference.

Fortunately, in the more than one month in Qunfang Garden, although I didn't learn all the overlapping embroidery methods, I still mastered some of the rules.

Shen Chuqing directly omitted the step of sketching, but she also knew that she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so she patiently and meticulously studied the texture trend of the bottom material, and even used a pen to mark the trend of the flowers to be embroidered next.

At the same time, I went through all the stitches suitable for embroidery of flowers in my mind, and kept recalling the contents I read in the book before. The surrounding background of flowers is more suitable for three-line crossing, horizontal and diagonal crossing, and tail crossing. Law.

The lines must be thick and sparse. For the branches and leaves, you can use sparse stitches, stacked halo stitches, chaotic halo stitches, and stacked stitches.

After going through all the stitches to be used in general, she decided to use the overlapping embroidery method she knew better to complete this work. Shen Chuqing quickly found the color thread and began to thread the needles.

The overlapping embroidery requires three layers of embroidery. The first layer is mainly used for laying the ground and positioning the outline. This one is not difficult for Shen Chuqing. The lines can be thicker and longer, and there is no need to be too meticulous.

When it's the second layer's turn, we must pay attention to the details, refine the embroidery surface in the order of first major and then second, first big and then small. The lines of each layer must be thin, and the stitches should be short. .

It was not difficult for Shen Chuqing to complete this one.

After about an hour, Shen Chuqing finally finished the outline.

According to the energy trend of the petals, Shen Chuqing adopts the embroidery method of embroidering the stamen first from the inside to the outside, using sparse needles from deep to shallow, and half a thread embroiders the trend of the petals, leaving the edge line to separate the yin and yang sides of the flower stem.

Another quarter of the thread was used to take care of the flowers and leaves with sparse needles. After this busy work, more than an hour has passed.

Shen Chuqing moved her stiff neck, relaxed her fingers and wrists, and took this opportunity to look at the contestants around her.

An embroiderer directly in front of him should be embroidering a picture of wealth and wealth of peonies. Among the layers of green leaves, several blooming peonies are gradually taking shape. revealed.

On the front left is a girl with short hair up to her ears. She is concentrating on the embroidery frame in front of her at the moment. On a tall willow tree with dense and drooping branches and leaves, two lively and clever kingfishers are under the needlework of the embroiderer. , the wings gradually plump up.

Although Shen Chuqing knew for a long time that an embroiderer who can enter this kind of competition is definitely not weak, but it was not until this moment that Shen Chuqing truly realized how strong An Jing is.

I couldn't help it, and moved my eyes to the frame of the girl with long braids. What the girl with long braids embroidered was actually a kind of ordinary flower that could no longer be ordinary, the mast flower.

Among the dense branches and leaves, dots of white flowers appear on the embroidery surface like stars.Although it has not been fully embroidered, the fresh breath seems to give people the illusion of a fragrance.

It can fully present the beauty and characteristics of the most common and common flowers, which shows how good the basic skills of girls with long braids are.

Before going to the Embroidery Awards, Shen Chuqing always felt that all famous teachers in the world were similar, but after going there, she realized the difference between embroidery and embroidery.
