Shu embroidery

"Thank you, Master Zhao Hui for your wonderful comments, and now I invite Master Zhao Hui to present awards to our two winners."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, staff members brought up the certificates and prizes.

The prizes for No.1 and No.20 are actually the same. The only difference is the award certificate. You only need to identify the name clearly before issuing it, and there will be no mistakes.

Enthusiastic applause sent the [-] students and master Zhao Hui off the podium.

Next, Tang Yu speeded up and entered the No.11 awards in only ten minutes.

The No.11 winner was Li Yue, an embroiderer from Anjing, whose winning work was a white dove.

On the podium, Master Peng from Guangdong was in charge of presenting the awards. He stood in front of the white dove embroidery and introduced the bird embroidery method with a serious face.

"In the large category of flowers, birds, fish and insects, embroidered birds are a more troublesome subject.

The main reason is that there are so many kinds of birds in different poses and with different expressions, it is difficult to find a starting point.

Secondly, if you want to embroider birds well, you must first have a certain understanding of the bird’s name and growth characteristics on the embroidery manuscript, such as its feather growth form and characteristics, and the order of feathers of many birds is different. .

And even among the same kind, there is a difference between male and female birds. The right wing and right tail of the male bird are on the top, while the female bird is just the opposite.

In order to embroider the bird more realistically and vividly, we must first grasp its emotions, and also notice the differences between its wings and tails and postures.

If there are other background scenery that can indicate the direction of the wind on the embroidery surface, then you must pay attention to it. The bird's head must face the wind to be authentic.

There is also a sequence to be paid attention to when embroidering birds and birds. In principle, the color block contour line of the base embroidery is actually the same as the sequence of drawing birds.

Generally, it is carried out in the order of head, back, wings, abdomen, legs, claws, and tail. When adding layers of embroidery, the feather part should be embroidered in the order from tail to head, from the inner layer to the outer layer, so that the feathers can be fully embroidered. Growth vigor is natural.

As far as I know, the embroidery of birds in Shu embroidery is different from our Cantonese embroidery. Most of Shu embroidery uses the halo stitch method in overlapping embroidery to embroider the lower beaks and toes of birds with four silk threads, and then use One-half thread embroidered feather piece.

For the fine hair on the chest, abdomen, and back, it is expressed from the inside to the outside with sparse needles.

After the outlines and large color blocks of each part are distinguished, I use thinner threads to add embroidery and polish, and do some details to shape the bird's head, eyes, feathers, and toes and claws.

The next steps are relatively simple. You only need to clean up each piece of feathers, integrate the relationship between the parts of the feathers, refine the light and shade of the head, mouth, chest, abdomen, and back, and coordinate the color excessively. "

"Thank you, Master Peng, for your wonderful explanation. I didn't expect that the master of Cantonese embroidery who came all the way from Guangdong would know so much about our Shu embroidery. I believe that at this moment, all the contestants on the scene should be as excited as Tang Yu."

Master Peng used the method of Shu embroidery to explain to everyone how to embroider birds and birds. In fact, he was showing his recognition and love for Shu embroidery to everyone present.

"Thank you Master Peng!"

I don't know who yelled, and there was warm applause at the scene.

"Master Peng, can you be more specific and tell us the details of embroidering birds?"

Among the crowd, a male embroiderer raised his hand and asked loudly.

"Master Peng is best at embroidery of birds. I hope Master Peng can tell us more about the tricks."

"Listen to Master Peng's teachings!"

More and more people began to boo, but the distinctive Cantonese mandarin made the embroiderers at the scene feel very cordial.

Master Peng glanced at Mr. Qunfang, who was far away from the judging panel, and Mr. Qunfang smiled at him, and saw him slowly pick up the microphone in his hand, and continued to say, "Then I'll be right here, let's talk more." A few words."

Hearing that he was willing to continue sharing, the embroidery room instantly became quiet after the applause.

"We can divide the bird into five parts, the head, the back wing, the abdomen, the legs, and the tail feathers. Let's start from the beginning.

The embroidery head can embroider the mouth first, and then embroider the eyes. Of course, it can also be reversed. It all depends on your preference. When embroidering the eyes, you must pay attention to fineness. We can use one or two colored threads to embroider the eyeballs first with cross stitches.

If the embroidered bird is relatively small, you can embroider the eye sockets with a thread of color thread and cross stitches.

The eyes of big birds or birds will be relatively large. You can use oblique stitches or twist stitches to embroider the eye sockets at the same time, so as to blend the colors of the birds' eyes and eye circles in different colors.

Generally, the beaks of birds are sharp and stiff. We can use oblique needles and two-color thread for dense embroidery to make the outline clear and straight. It is necessary to pay attention to the difference between the color levels of the upper and lower beak lines. , usually the upper mouth is light and the lower mouth is deep.

After talking about the head, let's talk about the back wing now. What the bird's back wing shows us are its wings, neck and back blocky feathers.

When embroidering, the key point is to carefully describe the feathers and feathers in units of pieces. When embroidering hard feathers, you need to pay attention to the virtual and the real. You can use cross stitches for bright parts. Match the thinner silk thread according to the color of the feathers. The fine arrangement is clearly expressed.

The position of the backlight can be blurred, so that the beauty and vigor of Lingyu can be fully expressed. "

Master Peng paused for a while, and Tang Yu quickly asked the staff to bring a glass of water.

Master Peng drank his saliva and continued: "The next thing we are going to talk about is the abdomen. I believe everyone knows that the feathers of the bird's abdomen are soft and fluffy. We want to see this feeling. When we make the bottom A small amount of cross stitch can be used.

Then use a thicker light-colored thread to embroider its outline, and then add color to make the lines gradually thinner. You can use messy techniques to cover the surface. Of course, the thinner the thread, the better the effect.

In fact, the embroidery method of the abdomen is very easy and simple. The next thing I will tell you is the legs and claws.

Most of the cross stitches can be used, the thread should be slightly thicker, and the stitches must be short. The most important point is that it must accurately show the morphological characteristics of the bird standing or flying, and there is another crucial The point is the joint turning and markings, which is also the most critical point to reflect the strength of the legs.

Finally, let's talk about tail feathers!The most direct factor determining whether a bird is beautiful or not is its tail feathers, the most important of which are of course color and shape.
