Cette semaine, nous étudions le point d'épine en triangle. Ne sachant pas s'il possède un nom en français, je me suis contentée de vous proposer une traduction littérale du nom anglais que Sharon nous a donné : "Triangular feather stitch". Ah oui ! il faut préciser que le "feather stich" (feather = plume) anglais correspond au "point d'épine" français, tandis que le "point de plume" français est le "fly stitch" (fly = mouche) anglais. Vous me suivez ? Bin moi aussi, j'ai parfois quelques difficultés à m'y retrouver. Surtout que dans les revues de broderie, on trouve de plus en plus souvent la traduction littérale du nom anglais à la place du nom français, comme par exemple "point de satin" à la place de "point lancé".
Pour la semaine de la Saint Valentin, un coeur s'imposait. Je l'ai brodé dans des couleurs acidulées et printanières, parce que je suis sûre que le printemps va arriver. Si si, on y croit, on se motive, on envoie plein d'ondes positives.
This week we look at the triangular feather stitch. I didn't know if it has a French name, so I use a literal translation of the English name Sharon gave us: "point d'épine triangulaire". Oh, I have to explain than is French, feather stich is named "point d'épine" (épine = thorn), while the French "point de plume" (plume = feather) is "fly stitch" (plume = feather) in English. Yes it is quit difficult.
For Valentine's week, a heart was needed. I embroidered it in bright and spring colors, because I'm sure the spring is coming. Yes it is ! We have to believe it ! Send lots of positive vibes.

I had so difficulties to manage this stitch at the beginning: the principle is very simple, but to obtain a nice triangle, not a stretched thing, I had to do a lot of tries. In fact you have to make the side stitches wide enough and not too long. Incidentally, I didn't embroider the decoration around the small mirror. It is a small accessory I bought some time ago in a discount store.
Because it was simple enought, Pauline tested a curled thread, harder to embroider. It looks nice with the geometric shape of this stitch.
Thank you for showing us signs of spring. A beautiful heart to celebrate both spring and St Valentine. I, too, found it hard to make the triangles even in size and shape but the stitch, but apart from that it is easy to make and the possibilities are endless.
RépondreSupprimerPauline is not afraid of a challenge and the curly thread is worked beautifully.
your project show in a beautiful way that the possibilities are endless.
SupprimerКакое сердечко яркое и красивое!И очень аккуратный шовчик :-))
RépondreSupprimermerci Svetlana. j'avais envie de couleurs lumineuses et chaudes.
Supprimervery much in keeping with Valentines day, this has worked very well, I think it would not have been easy to do this shape.
RépondreSupprimerOnce again a good sample from Pauline
Actually, I think this stitch is easier to stitch on a curve as on a straight line.
SupprimerVous avez utilisé toutes les deux de fort jolis fils pour ce point. Bravo pour la maîtrise du point sur les arrondis, ça n'a pas l'air si évident ;o)
RépondreSupprimermerci celle qui rêve, mais en fait, j'ai trouvé ce point plus facile sur les arrondis que sur les lignes droites, car ça permet de faire des triangles plus courts et plus larges.
SupprimerTrès belle utilisation de ce nouveau point, j'aime beaucoup ce coeur printanier et bravo à Pauline.
RépondreSupprimerMagnifiques couleurs et broderie pour ce petit coeur! Bravo à Pauline!!
Supprimermerci Séverine. on espère qu'il fasse venir le printemps ;-)
Supprimermerci christine.
SupprimerYou have done very well with a difficult shape.
RépondreSupprimeractually, when the great triangle is inside the curve, it it easier than on a straight line.
Supprimeroh yes, please do keep a positive vibe in regards to spring. i think your colorful heart is perfect for that~!
RépondreSupprimeryour stitching is beautiful and Pauline's done a very nice job with it too.
i haven't been able to find the time, energy, motivation, etc to get back to the TAST project yet. i have been thinking about it a lot so maybe soon. this stitch will be one that i have not tried yet so it's interesting to see what you have to say about it.
:-)
